Attention: this set has some factory blems, but I can't tell what are the issues--must be a slightly crooked seam here and there. Maybe the top tunnel is slightly skewed?
Used for two elk hunts, and has only hauled one front shoulder (I use a dedicated meat hauler pack I built from a military frame). I really loved this pack--very comfortable, adjustable, lots of accessible storage and unique modularity--and I wish it worked for me, but I am skinny (5'11" 165 lbs) with narrow hips and with this pack, like all my previous packs (70-80L Arc'Teryx, Gregory, & Osprey), the waist belt presses on my femoral nerve and causes the front of my thighs to go numb (clinical term: meralgia paresthetica) when carrying over 50 lbs. It worked better than anything I've tried, but it still cropped up after ~2hrs of heavy load. On to my next brand...
There are some light stains to the beige areas on front of the pack, and a few scratches to the bottom of the frame from setting down on rocks.
The list of goods and prices paid, below. The 2" frame extensions are currently installed and 4" included, so good for any height. Waist and hip belts are medium size (recommended for 29"-34", but I had tons of slack at 32", so would guess it would be fine to 36"). I'm keeping 4 gatekeepers, so only 8 additional are included. Also, the accessory pouch "set" is only one 1.5L as I misplaced the other. Paid ~$607 +tax + shipping. This set-up would run ~$750 if unblemished.
$520 to your door.
