[QUOTE="Jarrad, post: 905031, member: 87022"] I agree with Anhalter's comments re: pros and cons. On the Camino I have used a light 40L Montbell pack that is similar in weight to the 40L Arc'teryx. But it included all of the extra elements mentioned by Anhalter (side pockets, etc.) except for the daisy chain shoulder straps. Plus it has the top compartment over the main compartment -- very handy -- and cost about $80 less. Do I recommend it? Probably yes with some qualifiers, but that's a different post. I'm just saying that there are comparable packs out there at the same weight but with more features. I had no problem using a pack without a frame, but I had to experiment with the weight distribution and then repack it consistently every morning. Sweaty back was not usually a problem with the Montbell. But I've been using an Osprey pack for the past five years and on a warm day that breeze blowing across my back is glorious and can't imagine not having that on my next Camino. [/QUOTE]
