Everyone who buys one can say, “Hell’s comin’ with me!”
Feb 13, 2020 at 1:20 pm #3631119Sweet. I like the simple yet usable stretch front/side pockets.
Feb 13, 2020 at 1:31 pm #3631120I like how Ron is getting a little weirder in each video.
The new pack looks dope.
Feb 13, 2020 at 2:58 pm #3631130I had a hell’ova good time watching the video!
Feb 13, 2020 at 4:52 pm #3631143The video is funny. The packs look really simple. I’ve been looking at a lot of old gear pictures and videos lately. There has been a lot of feature creep in a lot of products, and a lot of products are less weird than they once were. These packs aren’t weird, except for being weirdly simple.
Feb 13, 2020 at 5:13 pm #3631145The lack of water bottle pockets would be an issue for some hikes, but if you’re always near water, a shoulder strap water bottle holder work.
Feb 13, 2020 at 6:33 pm #3631150Here’s a screen grab of some of the specs from the discussion over on the ultralight subreddit.
Feb 13, 2020 at 7:17 pm #3631155Can someone remind me what X33 is? Very durable with a waterproof laminate inside?
Feb 13, 2020 at 7:31 pm #3631165It seems to have one continuous stretch back and side pocket. Water bottles can be placed on both sides like in most other packs.
Feb 13, 2020 at 7:58 pm #3631169I could be wrong but it looks like MLD chose to sew the daisy chain to the pack body so it’s actually more like two wraparound pockets rather than one continuous pocket.
Feb 13, 2020 at 8:35 pm #3631177Ah ha! That makes sense!
Aug 8, 2020 at 11:43 am #3669908I suspect that water bottles you put in the side will migrate out of reach to the back unless you always have the back crammed full of stuff, which I probably mostly would, considering the size of the pack.
Aug 9, 2020 at 8:50 pm #3670190Anyone have a detailed review of this thing (outside of just reiterating specs)?
Saw one forum post on Reddit with a few different short reviews, but that’s about it.
Aug 12, 2020 at 3:33 pm #3670549Best sales strategy ever! It’s funny for how light the packs are, they make the whole set rattle when thrown.
