2023 Head-to-Head Backpack Test - Part 1 - Rokslide

[bozeman]

Yep, I am interested in the Alps and Black Creek......I wish you could get an AGC frame to test. I like their bino harnesses and would hope their pack to be solid.

Their carbon fiber frame is in field testing right now. Shelter production took priority this year and some other projects.

A new Seek Outside frame? Is more info available about that?

I reached out. They didn't want to send one.

They are working on some new things and it wasn't ready is what I was told.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: Please don't ask why packs that were in the other test were not in this one. If a backpack is not in this test but was in the test conducted a few years ago, the companies were reached out to and chose not to participate. For a new pack to test, Alaska Guide Creations was reached out to and chose not to participate. If there is a different pack that you would like to see in a future test that is not listed and was not in the previous test, please bring it to my attention.

Awesome review. The fabric noise part was particularly useful to see/hear in video format. Glad the pack I have on my short list was one of the top

I am glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Does the video compare the load hauling comfort of the different packs? That seems to me the first priority when choosing a pack.
