Packs

Once the gear has been put together, a fitting pack has to be found to carry it. Every pack has to fit your back well. Just because a model fits me well doesn't mean it will fit others, too.

I have also found that I personally get along better with packs without a frame. With frameless packs, carrying comfort depends only on how you pack. That also means a good frameless pack carries catastrophically when packed badly. A pot corner against your back, for example, is simply very uncomfortable.


Below are the reviews of the different packs:

Laufbursche Huckepack

The Laufbursche Huckepack is my oldest pack and still the one I use most. My 2011 model has a volume of a good 45 litres. I have owned this pack since about 2014. It has been around for 6 years now, half of them on my back. High time to write a few words about this pack.

Exped Lightning 60

Hello and thank you to Kai for the opportunity to contribute here as a guest author. Not all of my texts fit the topic of ultralight trekking, but I will gladly provide those that do. The Lightning series has existed since 2013. I first saw the pack with friends at the end of 2014 and finally gave it a trial run at the beginning of 2015. It was to be my first top-loader over 40l, and I did not make the decision lightly.
