| Make and Model: | EMS Ascent 2500 |
| Capacity (cubic inches): | 2500 |
| Review: | I bought this a couple years when I was getting back into hiking after a long layoff. The price was right (got it on sale) and it promised to be more comfortable than carrying a bookbag type pack which I had done on my first few hikes back. The Ascent was for one a dramatic increase in comfort. I was able to take all the stuff I felt I needed, plus carry some extra stuff so my wife didnt need to. It has held up remarkably well and shows no ill effects after a three years and dozens of uses. The one small gripe I have is that the water bottle holders on the side do not really hold a nalgene bottle with any degree of certainty. |
