Thread: packs what to buy?

For all you cactus lovers, how do you find the shoulder straps/pads, are they comfortable under a really heavy load?

cheers

Last few packs were Huntech and Macpac. The Macpac was hopeless, but was an alpine pack not designed for heavy loads. My Cactus is pretty good under load but I have really yet to put it through its paces on a large multi day trip and haul out. Im confident it will be great. The harness is very comfortable. Its a heavier pack but is not overly noticeable due to good load distribution via the harness.
