I would love to find a budget friendly Arc Haul type pack. Non-ventilated packs cause a rash on my back from the sweat - even during cool weather. I've picked up a couple external frame packs hoping to replace the fabric portion with lighter weight rolltop bags if the frames provide adequate ventilation. Free from craigslist and FB marketplace - but I haven't had the opportunity to try them out yet.
@BackpackingandBlisters Yeah there really aren't any other UL trampoline packs that I can think of. It was between the Zpacks and the Durston Kakwa 40 for me and I think the Durston will be slightly more comfortable and it's only a few ounces heavier once you add lots of pockets to the Zpacks. Zpacks is also 100X vs 200X Ultra on the Durston.
For a framed pack I love my Arc Haul but I am interesed in HTP Raven as the 24/7 will become my UL setup bakcpack now. The 24/7 has exceeded day hike expectations and can handle 20 pounds easily.
I think I’m the only person in the world that doesn’t love the arch haul. It’s good but not great but that’s just me b/c everyone raves about it. I’ll stick with my Flash 55.

That's really interesting. Let me know if you get them to work!
Was literally saying that in my head and then Justin says it 😂
:) Justin is a smart dude.

@@CombatBanana I'll have to look more at the Durston pack. Good call!

Always worth checking out other options. :)
The arc haul is absolutely worth it
Actually looking at buying it for this summer. So, thank you!
