Any reason I don't see any reviews of the ASolo Ultralight packs here (50 or 55 liter)? They are not really "ultra" light, bet look to be pretty good and I am a fan of their other mountaineering products.

I was looking for that too, I have a 55 liter on the way from amazon. I'm a newbie, but I can post some pictures and let you know how much it actually weighs.

Hmm...Interesting. Looks alot like the Lowe Alpine designs.

They don't list different torso sizes...I wonder if it uses a similar adjustable system as the Lowe.

Asolo gear is out of Canada and seems to be a franchise of the Italian shoe people...???

For the price, and the weight (2.02#) it seems like a decent deal for sure...as long as it fits!

I got the Asolo 40 last year at a huge discount, so I could not pass it up. It is pretty nice. It is a good compromise between lightweight and durability.

You can drop a couple of ounces with all the extra pull tabs and the internal frame bars (which are removable) and the shock cord expansion if that is not your style.

I would have liked to have seen at least one pocket for a water bottle on the outside, but that is just personal preference.

We sell the Copter 40. ANd a coupla of smaller packs.

Their Sleeping bags arent terrible but for 'us' there are better.



IMO Asolo makes nice boots ;)

I don't know if the 55 litre packs are available anymore. I just cancelled my amazon order due to the over 2 week delivery estimate. Decided on the larger Golite Jam-70. They're on sale now on golite.com.

Not sure of this is the right place to plug a website... but i really want to thank www.tenpoundbackpack.com. I wouldn't have found the right pack without them.
