Pack suitable for Hiking and Carrying Rack 21-Feb-2007 At 6:29:36 PM tmarsh

I've got an older Macpac Torre as well. Mine was the last of the old harness system before they moved to the current setup. Works for me, and it's more comfortable for me than the newer harness. But it's an individual thing.

The quality suffered for a little while when the packs went off-shore, but the more recent stuff I've seen is everywhere as bit as good as when it was made in NZ.

Nelio, if those flaws were an issue to you you could get the pack altered at Remote Repairs for not very much. The work they do is superb.

I've got an Arcteryx Bora 40 and the Torre. The Bora is *just* big enough for rope, rack, shoes, harness, water and some food. The Torre can take everything I can physically carry. If I could only have one pack it would be the torre, but there are times when it is total overkill for what needs to go in it.
