Main issue is that the carbon fibre platform would always seperate from the bag which in turn makes the bag only attached by the straps, quite hard to explain. It would come off the frame under heavy load and would piss me off something chronic trying to put it back on. Especially during a massive walk in or walk out.
Also got annoyed at the amount of straps and 'dangley' things hanging off the pack. Didn't like the excessive amount of pockets.
Don't get me wrong, they are a great bag, just not suited to me.
This pack is far more minimilist. One large 100L main compartment with 1x small accessory pouch inside the main bag. Everything else is stored in the black bags on the outside. The bag can be easily used as a daybag once it is compressed with the 3 straps. (3 straps in total)
