[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 225506, member: 4683"] I ordered some new gear and somehow between dealing w/ two different people on the order ended up w/ two backpacks instead of one.I wanted an osprey exposure 50 -did some research and liked what i read -then was told they were out -so went w/ an arc'teryx bora 50. The order conformation didn't come via email like it was suppose to ,so the package arrived via UPS and there are two packs.So i got to try them here in the house -big difference -the osprey was way more comfortable to ''me'' ,and the arc'teryx gave me the feeling of trying to pull me over backwards [hate that]. The arc'teryx bora 50 is well built and w/ that well built comes extra weight ,the osprey fits my plan of very lightweight but high quality. At apprx. 35lbs. -packed- it felt heavy to lift -but the weight was gone when i put the pack on -it laid close to my back and just put a smile on my face. Backpacks are like shoes -you really need to try them out on your back loaded -i would have never known how good the osprey fit me if not for the seemingly unlucky order -grin.. Got a western mountaineering mitylite bag coming -back ordered 3 weeks --going to use it as a bag/blanket w/ the hammocks i have coming. I'm going to try a combination set-up w/ sleeping bags -i have a 45* summer bag and figure i can use it and the WM bag together and hopefully together i can call it a winter bag system. Maybe i could get lucky and get a good kimber 84 montana ??----ME [/QUOTE]
