I own Stone glacier, deuter, eberlestock, camp trails, timbuk2 and asolo. Trashed a few others. Been all over the world and up more mountains than I can count.
The only pack I use now is the Stone Glacier (Sky archer x curve frame). Also the only pack brand I’ll buy for my family or recommend. You rarely see them for sale second hand, which says a lot.
The hunting packs are miles ahead of the backpacking brands regardless of end use or load carried. I’d rather hike barefoot and naked with my SG than carry any other pack.
