Sure, it's a fine pack It's a fine lightweight pack, and that price is reasonable. The pack has a decent suspension and will hold a light kit. Two comments: 1. It needs to fit well, or it's not worthwhile at a... |

Photon Freedom Micro (White) The newest version is the Photon Freedom To The Max, which uses some sort of new technology in the LED that doubles brightness while not using any more battery power. Nice. The Doug Ritter edition ... |
