Article Summary:

The Six Moon Designs Comet backpack is a close cousin to the Six Moon Designs Starlite, which is one of our top rated backpacks. The Comet has optional aluminum stays like the Starlite, but in contrast, is a little smaller and the pad pocket is internal to the pack bag rather than external. We were amazed by the load carrying capacity of the Starlite when we tested it without stays. Does the Comet continue to amaze, or do the design changes let us down?
