In reply to Xharlie:
> My only honest criticism of this pack is the fact that there are no pockets on the hip-belt. Instead, it has gear loops.
My problem with Deuter packs also. Actually I think that it should be possible to have gear loops AND hip pockets, in fact my bodge has done exactly that.
There is another problem with the axe attachments at the base, in principle having those little snap clasps to hold them is a good idea, but they are just too small to allow 2 axes to be fitted in realistically.
Generally they are good sacks though, just these couple of niggles.
