"I own and love my Khamsin 38. Usually every year I attempt to buy a replacement for it... you know, newer, shinier, more bells'n whistles, whatever. After much ado about nothing I ALWAYS stay with the Khamsin 38. IMO there simply is no other pack. BTW, I think Arc'Teryx quit making it. BIG MISTAKE. 10 stars!!!"

"I originally intended to buy the old model of Khamsin 38. When it suddenly dissapeared from the shops without any warning from Arc'Teryx's always luicrously out of date web site I didn't like the new (my) model at all. The beauty of the old one, I far as I was concerned, had been its simplicity."

"Great pack so far. Took it on a two-day glacier climb with overnight and minimal technical gear, and the pack was pretty comfortable. It's a very simple design and at 2.5 lb, very light for its size. I'm looking forward to using this one for everything from day climbs to overnight climbs to week 3 or 4 day light backpacking. Cool!"

"I personally own three daypacks of this size. I absolutely love the Khamsin 38. Simple, clean design with superb quality and price point. No unnecessary bells and whistles, and not as heavy as the older bombers I own. I'd put it in the middle weight wise between the bombers and Golite gear. If this ever wears out, I won't rest until I find another."
