@@Two-Stack He means bc it's not actually much lighter, let alone ultralight. Frankly, in the backpacking world that term means sub 10lb total so having you pack br 5lb would never be considered ultralight. Albeit these packs are meant for a completely different task compared to some thru hiking one.
Great video! Do you like the NICE frame over the Guide Light MT Frame? Do you notice a better weight distribution wither either? I'm leaning towards buying a NICE frame Overload pack. I've seen all the videos out there on it. I'm torn between that and the Terraframe 50. I'm a relatively smaller individual (5'5" 120lbs w/ decent muscle definition) I would like to use it for camping, travel, eventually hunting and survival training. I do not mind spending more if its worth it.
If you prioritize durability choose the Overload, it is 7.8lbs. If you value a more reasonable base weight (5lbs) and like better control over the feeling of your pack weight with the high up load lifters, go with the Terraframe 50. You can really feel how much stiffer the Overload frame is and you can also feel the increased weight. For 85% of my use cases the Guide light MT frame is excellent, but its really nice having an Overload knowing that I will not have to worry about long term buckle breakage or material breakdown with hard use. If you were in a sinario where you could no longer procure replacement parts or professional repairs, having a NICE frame pack is invaluable.
@@Two-Stack Thanks man, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I tried the Terraframe 50 in store and I really didnt like that i couldnt tilt my head back due to the tall load lifters. Packing it with 40lbs of weight I did feel it take a toll and would not enjoy lugging it through rough terrain (probably skill issue). I really do like the low base weight though. Despite the higher base weight, I also like the fact that overload is 500 cordura ( even though I wont probably abuse it that much) its good to know its bomb proof. I wish MR sold the overload sling separate from the frame. I think I would've instantly bought one by now. Do you notice a difference carrying 40lbs in the NICE frame vs Guide light MT?
Could you please suggest a heavy-duty backpack that would be suitable for carrying extra batteries, water, and food while riding an electric scooter? I would like to be comfortable while carrying these items.
Weights are all on the product pages, the Guide Light and Ultra Light frames can carry 150lbs, the Pop Up frames are rated for 80lbs. The NICE frame can carry over 200lbs.
Have you used the newest frame much in the field? I handled one in a store and worried that the padding was too squishy to be supportive with a heavy load, but that was without having a chance to load it up myself.
Looks like im not the only one with a pack addiction.
Great to see all this. Losing more Molle attachments on the new (misnamed) ultralight makes me happy I have the guide light mt version!
Misnamed?

Which pack would you choose to haul out a whitetail deer and carrying climbing sticks and a small saddle platform ?
Sawtooth 45

The 3 Day Assault or the Pop-Up 30 would probably be the best options depending on whether or not you are wanting to use the Overload shelf feature.
Great video.
Would be awesome to also have the stats of what each one weighs and the load capacity (lbs/kgs) of each.
Thanks.

Do you have the Guide Light frame (pre MT)?
No, but I can answer Q's

The padding holds load well. If the Guide Light MT frame is a 10/10 for load carry. The Ultra Light is a 8.5/10. The Guide Light MT is just too good.
@@Two-Stack Thanks, that is helpful. Great video by the way.
