Personally, the pictures do not fill me with confidence (neither does the fact they do not state a max load rating other than "quite heavy").
I would definately want to see the thing in the real.
They look very similar to my 50L Souther-Lite and that is holding together perfectly after 2 years and some big load.
This is from the Fiordland Packs' web site:
How much weight can I carry in my pack?
All Fiordland Packs are designed to carry what a reasonable tramper would expect. I regularly use my packs myself for above average loads. I have never had a problem and neither do I get packs back for repairs with weight related problems. My larger packs have more reinforcing than the smaller packs. I have stress tested a 25l Strong with several 10 hour days carrying 20kg of pindone, it was too full to close, I can show you that pack here, I still use it regularly.
Bear in mind that 40kg of meat is not a reasonable load for any 1kg pack, if this is what you want buy a 3kg pack elsewhere. It’s simple, physics.
Why not just get a southern lite pack😜Quote:
