[QUOTE="adk hunter, post: 1855892, member: 105492"] I think upper class boots and packs all have their followers and for different reasons. Just saw on the Crispi boot thread a suggestion to buy several and choose. Sound advice! Check which ones you can return no hassle and THAT speaks to a good company too. I never heard of Barney's but the rest all into 3,4,5th generations of their packs. I'll vote EXO yes because I have one. Mark is the owner and have spoken to him several times. Cool. Call him! I knew the minute I snapped the hip belt it was what I was looking for. There was a little learning curve as I had a badlands pack with more pockets I used for years. I bagged some small items and made them into kits and like that quite well. The interior dry bag approach is seamless although I seldom use it in the field. I will when on a wilderness trip. When I was looking, Kuiu had squeaky issues. I couldn't take that chance! I can hear my leather sheath rub when stalking, makes me crazy LOL. I moved everything to my pack now and went with a light flat belt. Mystery Ranch seems the big boy of the group and price and weight match that. The only reason I didn't look more into those is the weight, price and likelihood of really needing a bombproof meat hauler. My pack is a gen2. 6 months later they changed a few things. Nothing to make me wish I waited. Everything is backwards compatible anyway. Oh, take a look on youtube EXO Christmas surprise... Really nice touch for guys who bought a pack last year. Happy EXO owner, highly recommend. [/QUOTE]
