***SOLD***
This is a new Custom SWD Movement 40L backpack in Ultra 200 fabric. It is a size large torso with the 30-34″ hipbelt. I paid an extra $75 to have the backpack factory seam taped to make it waterpoof, as well as having them add a stretchy bottom pocket, similar to the Pa’lante packs. I also had an ice axe loop sewn on the left side. I cannot return the backpack because of the custom work I had done on it. It’s in perfect condition, it just doesn’t fit me right. If you were to order this from SWD today, you’d pay $325 for the pack, $75 for the factory waterproof taping, and $25 for the custom bottom pocket. In addition, they have a 13 week wait list. You can get this custom pack now for less than it would cost to have them make it for you. Only shipping to the lower 48 states of USA.

If only it were a medium!
Its the only backpack I’ve ever bought as a size large myself. I’m a medium in everything. I have a 19″ torso for almost every brand’s measurement system. SWD has their own way to measure and it results in a longer torso size. I went for the large based on their suggestions, as well as the BPL review of the reviewer wishing he went up a size.
