Excellent real life review. I'm gonna get it.

[@markwhite7881]

Nice review sir! My wife and I will be using this pack for the Outdoor Vitals 100 mile challenge. Love how it carries!

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Right on! Thanks!

[@russmjones]

I’m doing the OV 100 challenge this year. How was your experience with the Shadowlight? Would you recommend it? I’m tithing about the 60L for the non-stop. Thanks in advance.

[@markwhite7881]

@@russmjones I am doing the challenge this year too :) I love my Shadowlight 60l. I find the external pockets very helpful for keeping my cook kit and other items readily accessible. The center zip access is a huge benefit for getting to my gear without having to unpack from the top to reach what I need. I really enjoy how it rides. I did swap the hip belt with the CS40 belt (can be purchased separately). The CS40 hip belt has dual straps for the closure rather than a single strap like the Shadowlight belt. Definitely recommend!

Great video! I too carry this pack and love it!

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Right on! Thanks, glad you like it!

[@behind-the-gear]

Great video! Need to try out more thing from outdoor vitals. Just got the sun hoodie and right now they have a free pillow deal ha

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Good stuff! Thanks!

[@lizamarie8655]

Loved your review. I also have a shadowlight, 45L thought and I love it. Like you I am also
Impressed with this small company and all their products.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thanks! My backpack still looks newish even after a year of abuse.

[@UnluckyCanadian]

they just put their logo on alibaba equipment lmao

[@fchamino]

Good video i own and enjoy this pack as well

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thank You!

[@benjaminhymes1219]

Good review

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thanks

[@chrisr2925]

Excellent video. I bought the Rapid XL based off your review and am on my way to purchasing this pack. I truly feel you give unbiased reviews based on your own experiences. Have you had experience with this pack and a bear can? If not could you make a short with a can inside.
Thank you.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thank You for your encouragement! I have used bear cans with this pack. At the beginning of the video, when you see me walking, there is a bear vault 500 in my backpack. I also have smaller bear cans that fit sideways in my backpack. drive.google.com/file/d/1H9nH_Io5b7J3a56oVW4T2L5t3fgPdJzu/view?usp=share_link

[@henriloridans5228]

You could put your tent poles in one of the tall mesh pockets.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

I can, but I tend to drop my backpack on the ground when I’m tired. It’s a bad habit and I am afraid i might break the poles. The back isn’t flat like the sides are.

[@canadafree2087]

Ordered mine today but the center zipper is trash when you need to add a pack liner to keep your gear waterproof. I'd rather a full mesh pocket so I can stuff a wet tarp down there or wet raingear. I went with the 60 because I am in Canada and also can't afford the super compact expensive sleeping bags. Thanks for the review.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

I found that you’re right about having the bag liner in there. But I do really like the two separate pockets. I’ve had other backpacks with the one big pocket and I find it’s easier to organize stuff with two pockets. But there’s no right or wrong, they both have their pluses and minuses. So glad you watch the video. I hope you continue to watch my other videos!

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thanks

[@Taffer-bx7uc]

Those two top side pockets just kinda strange though. Seems like they get in the way more then anything else.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

I have their newer C40 ultralight, backpack and it doesn’t have those two top side pockets. I have found that I wish I had them on it. Those pockets are useful.
