Which of these 2 packs have you used? My 2nd cilogear 60L pack is finally falling apart, and I'm in the market for another. Experiences with these?
1) BD Mission 50 Pack. http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en ... on-50-pack
They say it's not meant for vertical technical climbing, i wonder if it's because of the height of the lid. Any other reasons?
2) Osprey Variant 52. http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/product/v ... ifications
Is the ax attachment system solid, or if the back pocket bulges out does the axe shaft also (since it's attached to that)
