Big Agnes Parkview pack
Great pack - the only potential issue is that the shoulder straps are very stiff and bite into my shoulders. Hopefully this will resolve itself as the pack is worn a little more.

Great pack - the only potential issue is that the shoulder straps are very stiff and bite into my shoulders. Hopefully this will resolve itself as the pack is worn a little more.
A very versatile light pack with lots of pocket & attachment options, material and webbing may get knocked around a bit if you were doing serious scrub bashing but for most standard track work should be fine. Only 2 issues for me, the super small clips are bit hard to use, especially when your hands are old, cold and fumbly! Other issue is the shoulder straps bear quite high on your collarbone ( the top attachment point is close to the center of the pack) so they get a little tender after a few hours carrying a decent load (there is not much padding on me or the shoulder straps!).
Not comfy as my old Macpac Cascade but not much more than half the weight - main reason for my choice.
I have only recently received my new pack but so far it's looking good. It has proven a new experience to set it up and adjust it so would highly recommend using the You Tube video to learn how to get the best from this pack.
The only downside so far has been that the shoulder straps seem very hard and have caused aggregation on my collar bone but I'll give this a little time to bed in and soften up before I get to concerned.
I'm really happy with it. It's really light but also has lots of convenient features. I am female and 5'7 but with a long torso and after doing the measurements have bought this size. Not sure about them calling the packs mens and womens for this reason. It is a small fitting pack except for hip belt which is too large. A well made pack great pack otherwise.
Just completed the Wangapeka track with this pack as its first outing. Loaded with 16 kg it was immediately and continued to be comfortabled.
With the last half of the track no longer being maintained,it coped well with the scrapes, brushes and bumps with the fallen trees, mud banks and rock.
We had a varied weather pattern over six days, so it got a great test of everything from sunshine to heavy rain and passed with flying colours.
