However you have been living with the pack for some time so you know how its feels. I really like the simplicity of the pack, and was thinking of the FR IR mini as another potential - but I keep coming back to the Summit. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and see pics for an update, now that your pack has been worn in!

But that's about it.

I'll probably get to the review early spring. This pack is exactly what I wanted out of a pack. the size is just right. I didn't get the expedition model because I wanted a slender pack that didn't stick out wider then I am. outside pockets would just make it bulkier then I wanted. It doesn't need compression straps. The only thing I would say you need though is a pad for the back area. In the above post you'll see a foam buttpad I use. This help hold it in a shape and makes it more comfortable to carry. Not from a heavy standpoint but from things in your pack poking you in the back or shifting around. So I would recommend something like that for it. It also helps hold it up and open when you're using the pack. Otherwise it just calapses. It carries good. I have no complaints. A modern pack would be a little more comfortable but this one has been fine. No pains or aches from it. It's too small for a waist strap so I don't think it would be necessary. Frost River does make a bigger version of this pack now called the Summit Boulder Junction. If this size looked a little small I would get the Junction over the expedition. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and it's good to see on Okie found it over here :)OutdoorEnvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128534880274766982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778698009107538091.post-498449635057126592014-12-16T17:07:03.648-06:002014-12-16T17:07:03.648-06:00Great looking ruck that I am thinking about buying...Great looking ruck that I am thinking about buying. I am waiting for your review. What do you like or dislike about it? What would you change? Do you think it needs any outside pockets or compression straps? Do you think a waist strap would improve its comfort and carry? How is the comfort after carrying it for several hours? Good to see a blog from a fellow Okie.

It is always upsetting when I see a nice looking pack where everything was done right except they use plastic snaps and strapping which tends to break during the winter.Peter Patenaudehttp://www.bootandcanoe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778698009107538091.post-1004577744843600422012-12-27T14:48:02.247-06:002012-12-27T14:48:02.247-06:00Love it.
