[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1039552, member: 54178"] Good decision Rick. Eberlestock packs need to cut their weight by at least 30%. Better cloth (Dyneema, for ex.) and thinner, narrower pack straps and smaller buckles is how lightweight packs are made for backpacking and they hold up just fine. I've packed, drug and hauled my REI Cruise UL 60 backpack through the abrasive rocks of the dessert southwest for 5 years and it still looks nearly new. Eberlestock tactical packs can remain heavy and "Marine proof" but hunters don't need that military ultra durability they demand for constant daily use. [/QUOTE]
