Not that much. $1260NZD landed for the Initial Ascent I have bought. I haven't included GST - have never been hit with it before.

Were you @BRADS or @199p?

Yeah mine 1500 shipped but that's including extras not a true pack only price.
But I got taxed but was sorted buy shipping costs.

Mine was i think just over $1400 all up but i stuffed up, paid for it in 2 lots and paid them in nzd not usd so got a terrable rate and double exchange fees was trying to skip gst but they put both invoices on the shipment so still ha to pay it.

Got the drink bottle holder would also recommend that, fits a kiwiblue in it

Shipping was horrendous

Pack is awesome have had 50 kg of water in it wasn't a massive walk but carried it great

This is not a bad pack. An Outdoorsman. Both Brian and I have them. Meat sling, and I have 2 bags for it. This small one and a big full one. Takes a hell of a weight but it slips off my hips under a big load and I have to constantly adjust it. There isn't enough pull up in the load lifters (the straps over the top of the shoulder straps). When I first put it on it's great and comfy, but it doesn't stay like that. The best Ive had up to now though.

@kiwijames While crossing the creek to retrieve that head I got badly stuck up to my waist in the toe of a slip from the cyclone. It was quite tricky to extract myself.
