last year, i walked into this store in Christchurch to buy something else. I tried this back pack with a load, and was so surprised to feel like...there was barely a load!i baught it, and have been using it intensely for a year now. I confirm what you say about freedom of movement. This bag is the most comfortable one i have ever had. Besides, it's quite adjustable, so can fit perfectly my very short size. A feature i could never enjoy before.😂. As for durability, it's been through a lot, and ,so far, i have had no issue with it. I try to keep the weight of my pack as low as possible, but i carry a tent, mat, sleeping bag, cooking gear, rain gear and clothes... 10 to 12 kilos...Well, i used to suffer back pain when hiking long distances. But with this pack, not any more! It really makes a difference...
Still have one of your very first packs I purchased in Petone after I met you sometime in the early 90's. Serious health problems means it does not get much use these days, but back then it transformed my tramping experience and I'm still grateful for all the effort you've put into their design, production and marketing over so many years.
