    Cage Vigil's review

    Save 5 pounds, just in pack alone? Sign me up. I've dragged this thing over snow, ice, and granite for over a year with no question on its durability. A no frills bucket with external sharps carry. Simple perfection.

    My favorite pack for carrying large loads on long trips. Pair it with some carbon fiber frame stays!
