In 2012 I used a Granite Gear Blaze back pack. It is a top loading design that weighs about 2lb 5oz. (1050 g). I like the Blaze, however, I'm looking at a panel loader. ULA Equipment makes the Camino 2, which is a panel loader that comes in at 2lb 14oz (1300 g). Its a little heavier, but, really not by much. Anyone have experience with this pack?

2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.


the osprey series do a panel version on some models.. I prefer this design for camino's . as long as you have a back fitting first, not necessarily yourself, some people unaware need to be shown how and when and why all the straps need adjusting.
