SOLD! FS: McHale Critical Mass one $350 on 04/27/2012 18:20:12 MDT Print View

This Pack has sold. Thanks.


I have a McHale I am interested in selling, as I have grown too old for the load hauling days of yore

18.5 - 19" torso, 34 -40 waist range, New, lower price!! $350 per a subsequent post.

4 bolt, no bayonets, Critical Mass 1 pack. 2 water bottle pockets, 6 inch blue dyneema extension collar. Anyone who knows these packs, knows they have a zipper in the lower portion to access the bolt attachment points. This creates an access to the sleeping bag section as well.

Bought in 2004 and used it for about 300 nights. At least that many are left in this pack. Capacity of 100L easily. 2 layer top pocket, and a kangaroo / shovel pocket on the front. Bypass harness shoulder straps.

This pack has seen use carrying 3 gallons of water as well as 2 weeks food, and carried the weight better than I did. Can fit 2 BV500s in horizontally, along with all of the other gear. I would be happy to send pictures to any email addy. I expect this pack to be shipped out for a trial fit prior to purchase, and would ask that a deposit be made for the safety of both parties.

Hello,

Would you mind sending over (or posting here) a few pictures of the pack?

I'm definitely interested!! (I'll have to re-measure myself tomorrow, but that's close to the range that I remember being in).

If you e-mail the pictures, just send them to my username plus gmail.com

Thanks!!

I can vouch for Vincent and the pack. He's a stand up guy.

Sorry, I should have mentioned I am going off to camp for a night on the Oregon Coast tonight and will be back Sunday evening. I will post some pictures if i figure out this site, or email them directly to you. Thanks for understanding.

No problem Vincent, I hope you enjoy/are enjoying the trip.

I re-measured, and am right at 20in, which as I understand, should be fine for the pack (slightly smaller pack is better/ok, a slightly larger pack would be bad) .

Please do send me some detailed pictures/comprehensive list of features, and I'll let you know asap regarding my interest.

Thanks!!

I am reducing the price for this pack to $350. Not likely to go lower. Thanks, folks.

Hi, Duane--It has been a long time since we have shared a trip. Now, I am selling that big load hauler, if any one wants it. :) I have switched to a ULA circuit, since I no longer can stand hauling 55#s, or want to for that matter.
