Looking for feedback.
I do extended back country trips - 7-10 days common and I prefer a large bag in the +7000 cu inch range. I also always run a guide lid. I like to have room to spare.
Anybody go from a EMR2 pack to either the Reckoning or Crater?
I've been running the EMR2 back since it first came out. Great pack. My only dislikes are the compression straps and having to re-compress every time I have to get into the main bag or the even the back stuff pockets. The full length zipper is great. The size of the main bag is great.
The Reckoning looks great. Just concerned that the main bag is not big enough? Very much like the independent compression straps, and side pocket layout, more so than the EMR2.
Crater looks good too but I am not sold on the side zip location as that is where I strap my gun and don't want the zipper rubbing against it, nor am I sold on a single side pocket for the spotting scope. The large main bag is very appealing.
Or maybe I just stay with the EMR2 as its still a solid option...
Any thoughts?
