Mountain Hardwear Solitude Backpack - 4800cu in
Hunting with a Solitude Backpack - 4800cu in
WOW what a great pack. Fits snug and once you get it adjusted it never moves. I spent 8 days hunting Dall's Sheep in the Alaska range and never once had a problem with the gear. I really like the whole system and once I figured how to pack it in a duffle bag It traveled well on the flight from Texas to Alaska. The pack was great when it came to stuffing it in the Supercub we used to get to the bush. If you have a bad lower back as I do this is the pack for you. Down side: be very carefull fitting the collar and belt to your individule size. I had a medium collar a lager frame and a large belt. But once I got the pieces together it was GREAT. It does take time fitting but the manual is good and can help you thru the process.
Very Excellent
The frame is very rigid and flexible, all the loads hang to both sides of the waist. I walked throuth the Northan Alps in Japan for five days, started with 22Kg load. I recommend this pack for serious backpacker who walks steeper mountains with heavy load. This is a revolutionaly designed backpack. To our regret, the agency in Japan doesn't sell. So, I recommend this pack in my HP (http://psycho01.edu.u-toyama.ac.jp)
MTN Gear Solitude Sucks
The Mountain Gear Solitude Backpack was the worst. I used it for Mt Blanc, The Matterhorn, and The Eiger. I hated it so much, I returned it. First, putting it together was a huge pain. Then, the fit was awful. The function of the pack was awful, it's hard to believe they actually did any real field testing. The pack kept separating from the frame which was a huge pain. I would say, stay away! Thanks JoeF
