User Review: Mountain Hardwear Maestro

Rating: rated 4.5 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $300

Summary

Great backpack. Wonderful hybrid design. Surprised more backpack manufacturers haven't gone to a design like this. Also surprised MH discontinued this design.

Pros

  • Very strong and lightweight pack
  • Very comfortable once adjusted to your body

Cons

  • Initial adjustment is a bit of a pain

I retired my Dana Design for this backpack. I have used this pack extensively over the last 4 years. It is a little difficult to get dialed in but once it is, it is a wonderful pack. I have packed 50# loads into the Grand Canyon for several days and it has served me well. Very comfortable! 

I love the space it provides between the shoulders and the lower back. It's like air conditioning for your back.  Great feature. I must say this pack is extremely strong too. I have used it on many hunting trips and have literally loaded it with over 100# of meat and packed that several miles with not a single issue. I always worried that I was overloading it but it hasn't failed me yet. 

Great pack. Not sure why MH discontinued this design.
