I’ve been tramping for several decades and over that time have accumulated a bunch of packs as I’ve searched for the right combination of weight, load capacity, features and comfort. In the Mountain Magic Pro 50 I have finally found my perfect pack. I may have been skeptical about balance pockets concept, but now I am an absolute convert. I can’t get over how much more upright I can walk and how natural the pack feels when moving through tricky terrain. Overall, I arrive at my destination less tired and sore. The host of features of this pack belie its light weight. It’s an absolute winner.
I have used Aarn packs for years and they have finally made the perfect pack. It is big enough that I can get 7 days worth of gear and food (including tent), but not a ridiculous size for an overnight trip too. The frame is made to handle the weight of 7 days worth of gear, that was my problem with older similar size packs as they were only made to carry about 10-12 kgs. Also, it is really comfortable. I brought the large size shoulder straps, I am not tall but have somewhat wide shoulders and found that size fits better.
Having been on the receiving end of packs that claimed to be the "gold standard" in comfort and weight distribution I was amazed when I wore this pack from the very outset! I was a bit dubious after seeing people wearing these packs with pockets in the front. How wrong I was. So comfortable, the harness moves with your body not you body to the harness. I should have used these packs years ago. I am converted! I am busy spreading the word to anyone who asks.
The team at Furtherfaster are also super easy to deal with online and very responsive.
I’ve taken this bag on a few hikes now and the amount of small adjustments you can make to it to ensure it’s comfortable is astounding. The amount of airflow to your back is fantastic, making those hot walks far more comfortable. The pockets at the front are great for carrying a range of things, and even when I’ve had my camera and lens in one of them, you don’t notice the weight whatsoever. The straps that move with your movement are incredible aswell, creating a bag that flows with your movements, making going over uneven terrain such as rocks or roots much easier as your weight is distributed evenly, meaning you’re not worrying about your bag throwing you anywhere, just on the trail ahead. I couldn’t recommend this bag more - and I’m looking forward to using it throughout summer and putting it to the test!
Absolutely brilliant pack
Super happy with it
Can’t help but extoll how good it is to others.
