Best. Pack. Ever.
I just bought a Skareb 55 to replace a heavier Gregory pack. This pack is the lightest I have seen, with the small weighing in a 2 lbs, 13 ounces. This pack gives really good support for the hips and shoulders, and is very durable despite its light weight. The pack also has a nice rollover top closure system and comes with a rain cover. And of course it supports hydration bladders. Pros: light, durable, comfortable, good support, well-designed Cons: only has 2 exterior pockets, one main compartment inside

You need this NEW pack
I really did not need a new pack. But the concept and details of this pack had me buy it, as it was different. WOW, this is outside the envelope of strength to weight, great fitting and overall GREAT pack. It's different, with the light weight materials, roll top, and user friendly features. It felt like a glove to carry 30 lbs over a rough trail. You know, with this pack, that this is one you'll wearing for many miles from now on.. I great buy, and I like the looks and feel of it. What more can you ask for?
