New BOREAS packs? on 09/24/2011 23:28:04 MDT Print View

Any body seen these? They look like they have potential. Not the lightest but they have a removable frame. I think they would be interesting if they could haul good loads.

According to the website the fabric for the body of the pack is 140D which I assume is 140 diner nylon. So this is fairly light material for a heavy duty pack. I'm sure they'd hold up for a while but if you constantly loaded them up with heavier loads I'd be worried about seam failure over time.
