The lightnings harness is pretty damn good man, the hip belt is the shit, all the weight sits on your hips so the harness could be a couple of bit of paracord and it would still be sweet.
My only complaint is that the sternum strap slips, but I haven't found a pack that doesn't so maybe its just me.
Go to bivouac, load one up and check for yourself
Fair enough, depends on your build. I don't know how freezer is built so it will be up to her/him as to what suits - I'm solid build and the Tatonka worked well for me - I gather that you are somewhat more lithe and svelte?
I'm thinking that good packs have wide waist belts but it's only a theory
I have an Exo Mountain Gear 3500 on the way K² 3500 Backpack – Exo Mountain Gear. I was looking at a used cascade, but while I was waiting for the right one to come up I started looking at the higher end US stuff - Exo, KUIU, Mystery Ranch, Kifaru, Stone Glacier - there are heaps of them. Looks a sweet pack but pretty spendy, probably going to crack $1k if I get stung for duty etc.
I'll update the thread once it arrives..
For a medium weight pack with a great harness check out Aarn packs. For a lightweight pack with a ok harness check out gossamer gear.
