The Pursuit is a long and noble line of alpine sacks which stress function, not bells-and-whistles. The Pursuit has racking features for ice axes, crampons, poles and snow stakes. Aztec HP, a lightweight kevlar matrix, provides durability in high wear areas. The Pursuit comes in Slate/black or red/black and comes in three sizes at 50-55 liters.

bomb-proofI carried this pack up Keiners Route on Longs Peak last week and it held everything and then some. Carried well with no discomfort (at least pack-related discomfort) in a 21 hour death march trip.
Did I mention it's waterproof? And made out of kevlar? I had the chance to drop it off the Diamond, but didn't figure my product testing responsibilities went quite that far.
So why only four stars? Inexplicably, it doesn't come with a hydration pocket. I mean, this is the 21st century here, what gives? Anyway, I was able to sew in a nylon panel to hold bladders. Problem solved.
