IceIceBaby Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 cracked said: Do you have too much money? I get by with two: a homemade daypack (probably 2500-3000 ci), wt 1.3 lbs, and an Arc'teryx Khamsin 62. KISS. Nahh...just smart Ebay buyerI bought them over the years none of them cost me over $100 and all the dana, the nozon, and the icesac were brand new the only one used were the Andinista and the Chernobyl in less then $80 a piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracked Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 (edited) Let's see, $90 times 7 is $630. You have too much money. Then again, it's a safer investment than stocks. And I second Mattp's advice about wands. It's also easy to sew a sleeve that you can clip to your pack, use it like a quiver.

Alpine_Tom Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Has anyone used the Granite Gear Alpine Light? I was looking at it at Second Ascent, and it looked just about perfect, to me. A bit lighter than the Wild Things Ice Sac, two tool holders, and much tougher fabric than the Golite. Plus, it's pretty cheap, always a positive feature.

Illimani94 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I've used the Alpine Light. Pretty nice pack, carries surprisingly comfortably for having just a wide piece of webbing for the waistbelt. Tool tubes are hypalon, which may be a bit harder to holster/unholster than nylon; plus side, you can't hurt 'em. Ditto the crampon patch. Uses those tough rubber Voile straps; tough, darned tough. Comes in 3 sizes for getting that perfect fit. Nice pack, very well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGowans Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hey, I've been reading the thread trying to figure out a good daypack too...has anyone got an opinion on the Marmot Eiger pack? REI is selling it for $99. Looks pretty simple but has the basic necessities. I have seen the stuff on MEC, but the dividend is burning a hole in my pocket http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?productId=47569552&storeId=8000&catalogId=40000008000&langId=-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracked Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 It's too heavy for my tastes, but then again, nearly everything is. Still, three pounds for 2000ci is a bit inefficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
