    Macpac still make some good gear at reasonable prices (provided you buy during the frequent sales or clearance not rrp), even if its not quite as tough as old Macpac stuff was.

    None, but we have a stack of different models of them at work, along with other brands.

    Exped Lightning 60 or ULA catalyst were the two I narrowed down to recently. Chose the exped. Not as rugged as macpac but light(1.1kg vs macpac ravine 2.4kg).

    I'm thinking of trying a OnePlanet pack, construction is just as good as cactus but the harness system is much better.

    Stiletto, or Mungo preferably, which models have you got?

    Does the traverse have a frame? Mostly looking at the larger packs.
