    Pack Review

    Hi Dave, I'm really sorry - tried on two different browsers (Edge and Chrome), and I don't think the pictures have pulled through on to the thread. Hopefully someone else can confirm this and it isn't me being a fool?

    Does having a half-full pack affect the weight distribution in a pack?

    Sorry for my delayed response - I've been trying to find specs of the bag online and I don't actually own a pair of scales. My current pack comes in at 5lbs empty, but maybe my view of it as 'relatively light' is that I had a Karrimor one before that for over a decade, and that weighed a whole...

    Does having a half-full pack affect the weight distribution in a pack?

    What did you forget?

    Hi Jason, Great question, and one that comes back to me as I start to pack my bags for my own trip next week.
