Thread: Packs for heavy loads

In 1990 I went from a Mountain Mule type frame pack to a Deuter. The difference was unbelievable. From then on the improvements have been smaller but incremental with each pack I have graded up to. I can't imagine them getting much better now, but I guess they will.
I have a 55 litre Initial Accent and meat sling now, and a straight forward Southern Lite that I like too.

Before you dismiss these modern packs you really have to try them. Give them a fair comparison with your old stuff. They are a world away from the ones that used to rub holes through to your kidneys.
