For me the Alaska feels pretty much the same whether packed with 5 or 50 kilos. With 50, feet movement gets a little slower though :). I've used the pack in Finnish Lapland for 1 month this summer and am very happy with it. The weight feels mostly off my shoulders and on my waist and chest area. I've found the 25 litre removable bag quite useful when making camp (I carried the food in it for 3). Overall the design is simple, it works and takes alot of beating.

Critisism goes to the plastic knobs at the lower ends of the frame pipes. They fell out the first time getting the frame on with a heavy load (sitting down). I've heard that an upper extension to the frame is available, it would be useful. The frame comes in different sizes, I figure mine is L. I would give the Alaska 4,5 out of 5. A small minus goes for the brand being Swedish but I have to hand it to the neighbors: det är gävlig gott!
