Looking forward to hearing how you like it. My brother informed me about these vests and despite the fact that I don't do much upland, I am really liking them. He just moved to Nevada so I'm thinking an upland trip is in my future.
Mostly solo backcountry or backcountry hunting and fishing with my brother. Currently rocking a duplex but wanting something a little less fussy. My wife refuses to go floorless. haha This would be nice for us on scouting missions as well I am thinking.
Great stuff! My brother just moved to Nevada and I tasked him with finding us a good place to get some waterfowl when I head up to visit. This gives me hope!
Thanks for this Josh. I’m looking at either the flight or Gila as a summer scouting/backpacking pack. I love the idea of the flight just hesitant due to some of the reviews mentioning trouble for longer torso-ed individuals.
I have this pack and can't recommend it enough. Used to for a 4 day backcountry fly fishing trip where I carried my gear and most of my wife's. Didn't even have to use the loadout shelf. I had some initial discomfort but once I got the fit right, it was perfect. As stated above, awesome pack!
I purchased the 65 to use for weeklong hunting and fishing trips. Just finished a backcountry fishing trip and I've got to say, I was very impressed. I was carrying food and shelter for two for 5 days and had no complaints. As mentioned above, the 65 would be my pick. Big enough to haul...
