This pack packs. In the years I've owned it it's taken me from Alaska to Argentina with Europe, Asia, and a whole bunch of mountains in between. I hauled 100 lbs. 45 miles in two days coming down from Aconcagua once with not so much as a single saddle sore. I have used it as my weekend pack, my daypack, my summit pack, my duffel bag, and my work horse pack. Nothing has ever broken, ripped, torn or failed.

The only problem I've ever had was that somebody else liked the pack so much they stole it. This gave me time to reconsider the packs available out there and try some different models. But returning from a recent Mt. Rainier climb with a competitor's pack and yet another sore back convinced me that no other comparable pack compares. It's cheap, comfortable, easily modified for huge hauls, and doesn't complain. No matter how big the load.

I just got a new Contour IV and the recently added features make it a better pack then ever.

Climb on!
