eskimobasecamp 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 it's 11 litres and i was just thinking along the lines of it's a better day pack for resort trees etc - for carrying minimum avi gear Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 the only good thing about your osprey is that it can become a small backpacklike this one. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 yes thank you Link to post Share on other sites
SA 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Ospreys are great! Got a switch 25+5 this year and it rocks. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 top loading packs are better for everything. the load on the osprey puts stress on your back. They Just became trendy thats why they sell. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I really like my Osprey too I never carry enough in it to put too much stress on my back. I wouldn't mind a minimalist pack like the DaKine heli pack for resort though Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I find my osprey to be really well built. it adjusts to my size and carries way better than any dakine or burton bag (yes, I know they aren't the best bags) Link to post Share on other sites
SA 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 That's what I found too. Very stable for skis as well. How is it they put stress on one's back FT? Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 He hates the way they load, as opposed to top-loading packs. I like my Osprey Switch 25+5, i think it's well designed Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 the back loading rocks. way better than digging through all your stuff to find something at the bottom of your bag Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i have a 80L travelling pack which i bought specifically for that design, so i never had to dig to find stuff at the bottom, it's so gooooood Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 3 banzai's for the back loading packs! Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 3 bonzais for fools who dont know any better. Having all your weight in the back is just silly its a stupid design that doesnt carry the load on your hips. Even if they were giving them away I wouldnt take one Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I don't understand how the weight doesn't go on your hips. I feel it on mine. where do u feel the weight goes? do u find it's not evenly distributed? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 all this talk about weight distribution is all good and fine, but that stupid pack is still up on SAC! Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 nope cause it doesnt load up it loads out. think about it a bit. v v vvv vvv vvv normal loaded pack vvv vvv vvv v v v o o oooo ooooo oooooo osprey ooooo oooo o o o all the weight is in the back and you cant even think about overloading it.
