Thread: SUMMIT vs DROVER

I've got a 90l Cascade in VGC for $100 + postage if anyone wants some old school awesomeness.

Perhaps it was because I have simply hunted with One Planet packs (McMillan and Extrovert) for quite some time and they are very simple classic tramping packs but for whatever reason I personally didn’t warm to the Drover system. May give it another shot in the Spring. Also have found the Extrovert a more comfortable setup than the Drover. The Drover has a lumbar pad at the bottom which I found uncomfortable. Again with use I may have got used to it.

I do know what you mean bit faffing round I felt like that the 1st few times I used it but now with using a shit load I find it just as quick as emptying a normal back to put meat in the bottom & then wondering what left siting on the ground with the straps on the bottom off pack I don't thread it through the bottom buckles properly I just shortcut it a bitt night makes it quite a bit lest faffing around for me I do find the lumber pad very comfortable but that will come down to different body size & shape
