I'm looking at the MR lineup for a new day hunting pack. I'm trying to research the difference between the scapegoats- and found some pics here and another forum. In addition to the sizes of the pack, does anyone know of the discernible differences between the two?
From what I see: The 25 has a different webbing setup (sides only; can be attached in front; no bottom straps); different interior pocket setup (two sleeves along the sides and an extra mesh pocket for wallet/phone/keys), and the outer mesh "shove-it" pockets
The 35 has the different strap setup (incl. bottom straps); and very little in terms of interior pockets.
I cannot tell how the suspension is different between the two (looks the same?).
Was there ever an "updated" 35 that has the pocket features of the 25? In my opinion, it seems that the 25 has more going for it, both in features (except the smaller size) and price. However, the 25 seems a bit small for my use as a hunting pack. What does the "more streamlined" 35 have going for it where it costs upwards of $80 more?
Thanks for any info anyone could lend!
