Favorite packs

Alright ladies. What is your favorite pack and why? In the market for a new pack, leaning heavily toward eberlestock for the packout ability. I like that it has the actual physical shelf.

The only pack I have is a KUIU. I've done several elk and liked it with no problems.
Had a Eberlestock and that thing did everything it could to kill me on the one and only pack I used. Sold it. It didn't like me and I didn't like it.
If I was a lot younger I'd try the EXO other half just bought one and has been using it to get use to it. It looks good and sets right on his back.
Just remember everyone's back and body its different. What I like and what fits me may not be right for you.
Good luck on your choice.

I've had a kuiu icon pro, ran a mystery ranch a couple times, tested a stone glacier pack, and had a EXO K3 and now have a EXO K4 5000 Women's pack. I really like the exo packs. The quality and customer service is exceptional, the guys are super helpful and knowledgeable about fit. I know for a fact my EXO can handle more weight than I can physically carry. The 5000 bag layout is may favorite bag layout of the packs I've been around. Ultimately the best pack is what fits your body the best.
