The pivoting suspension is great but noisy. I have tried silicon spray, but still noisy. I have been using the pack for 6 day trips for the past several years. Any ideas? question_119002 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 22:35:45 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Mountain-Hardwear-South-Col-Backpack-4200-5000cu-in/MHW0860M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_118748#question_118748 Mountain Hardwear South Col Backpack - 4200-5000cu in<br /><br />Has anyone bushwhacked with this pack yet? I&#39;m curious how the lightweight fabric holds up to this kind of puncture/abrasion (on long gnarly approaches).<br /><br />Also, what are peoples&#39; opinions of the fancy ice-tool/bottle-opener gizmos, having used them in the field? Were your tools held down tight, or did they flop around? Did the adze of your axe protrude beyond the side of your pack and get caught on things? Would the little attachment-thing get ripped out easily if the axe gets stuck on a branch or rock?<br /><br />Lastly, has anyone actually packed this thing to capacity - like expedition-stuffed full? It looks from the photo that this pack has that &quot;hourglass&quot; shape that is increasingly popular (you know, skinny waist and lumpy hips) -- my experience is that hourglass-shaped packs are challenging to fill efficiently. While packing, did the lightweight fabric lead to more lumps and bulges on the surface (because the fabric is stretchier)?<br /><br />So far, I&#39;m considering this and the Arc&#39;teryx Khamsin 70 - anyone else have 60-80L recommendations (of packs withOUT a separate sleeping-bag compartment)? question_118748 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:24:41 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/The-North-Face-Crestone-75-Backpack-4300-4880cu-in/TNF3075M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_118515#question_118515 The North Face Crestone 75 Backpack - 4300-4880cu in<br /><br />I have a camelback hydration water bladder, doea this bag have a slot for the tube to go through?<br /><br />Also, if any women have this bag, how does it fit? Is it uncomfortable since its not specifically built for women? question_118515 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:27:01 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Osprey-Packs-Ariel-75-Backpack-Womens-4600cu-in/OSP0073M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_118455#question_118455 Osprey Packs Ariel 75 Backpack - Women's - 4600cu in<br /><br />I&#39;m planning to use this pack primarily in bear country and I have two questions: 1) will a large sized Bearvault fit in this pack? 2) would it fit in sideways?<br />A friend recommended packing the pack with the bear canister sideways in the small of your back. What do you think? question_118455 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:45:02 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Gregory-Baltoro-70-Backpack-4149-4638cu-in/GRE0040M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_117670#question_117670 Gregory Baltoro 70 Backpack - 4149-4638cu in<br /><br />I was just curious if this 70L pack will fit in an overhead compartment on a plane? Has anyone traveled with this pack fully packed and if so did the airline let you carry it on?<br /><br />Thanks everyone! question_117670 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:18:39 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Arcteryx-Khamsin-70-Backpack-3967-4577cu-in/ARC0649M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_115416#question_115416 Arc'teryx Khamsin 70 Backpack - 3967-4577cu in<br /><br />Any of you tried to carry ski with this backpack?
