Anybody use the Montbell Alpine Pack 50?

Anybody use the Montbell Alpine Pack 50? If so how does it carry and climb? How is the durability? How do you attach crampons to it?

 

Thanks,

one thing to consider. the 60 weighs 1 oz. more than the 50. easier to pack and unpack the larger bag, and then compress down as necessary.

Except, the bigger the pack, the more sh*t you carry.

well yea. I'm guessing 50L is probably plenty big for Dan. Are these packs any good?

I talked to a fellow who had a MB 80 liter and loved it, he couldn't recommend it highly enough. I picked up a there 40-liter about a year ago and I love the thing, it's been a great climbing and skiing day-pack that's not to heavy and the price was right. I looked over the 60 last time I was in Jim's shop and I have to say the suspension system looks quite bomber, I think it would carry weight quite well. The packs are made out of tough fabric and thus far I've had no seam issues with my little one, I'm thinking it will last a long time.

 

I think those are probably the bargain of the climbing pack market right now.

Best value in that price range on the market for a framed production pack.
