Men's Z65
Reviewed by Bruce D, Jun 05, 2009

"I just got this pack in March, and have only used it once so far, on a one-night snow-camping trip. The trudge up was only 2. 5 miles, but had a 2000' elev gain, and much of it was through deep snow, being rained on.

This pack is so comfortable, I thought I must have forgotten a bunch of gear, or something; but no."
