I currently have a Camelbak Motherlode and a couple of weeks ago I did a little 2 mile hike off road with my BOB and I damn near died! I have a severely bad back and I think that the 25 lbs that my pack weighs is not the issue but the way it sits on my back. I have backpacked many miles and the value of a good hip belt is worth its weight in gold. The Camelbaks goes around my belly and not on my hips. so its obvious my need for a new pack.
I am looking at the USMC ILBE gen II pack. does anyone have this pack and like it and better yet does anyone have this pack and will let me try it on. They are going on Ebay pretty cheap these days 80-100 bucks. please chime in on any input that you can give me good bad or otherwise. thanks Larry
P.S. I wanted to add that I would like to keep it a military style pack
