It is built as a sort of a trailvest pack but of a particular type, for vertical places, so there is some logic behind it. Trailvest packs are typically without a belt. On the other hand, if you have to put a climbing harness, you may not really want a hip belt. They have another with a hip belt, you can see it here ua-cam.com/video/4nNeL-V4950/v-deo.html

No need for one on a running vest style pack. Also: hip belts are bothersome when used with climbing harnesses.

The point of this pack really flew over your head like a smart joke, huh

I had Salomon boots earlier, and they are excellent.

Great to hear from you, thanks.

Not sure from which part of the world you are commenting. But I am in Europe and can tell you Deuter is the number 1 here, it has always been.

@@mountainsforeverybody Same here, Europe. But I really never hear about Deuter, until I saw it in my local outdoors store, decided to try it out. And damn they're really comfortable backpacks

@maks4793 When I go to the Alps I see most of people using Deuter packs, perhaps you simply did not pay attention. Their packs may not look as fancy as Osprey's but they are the same level or sometimes even better. This particular series is incredibly well designed.

Hi, it will never self-inflate. I mentioned this somewhere. The cut-outs inside are clearly too large so the sponge has not enough expanding elasticity in itself. You will always have to blow air in. But I am fine with this, the cut-outs reduce the bulk and weight.

Could not agree more. Last summer I was there for longer than a month, and this was not the first time. As you rightly say, such an incredible area. If you have time check my climb to Monter Pelmo, I did it two days before this hiking.

Great to hear from you, thank you for the kind words.

I am really happy to hear this. Please follow the link in the description to the post in the site for details.

@mountainsforeverybody Thanks to your review, I decided to buy the Aircontact X 70+15. Outstanding amount of features! I'm discovering a new one every day 😅

This will depend on how much you want to pay. Please have a look at this list: mountainsforeverybody.com/best-lightweight-2-person-backpacking-tents

Most welcome.

Great to hear from you, thank you.

Most welcome.

I hope they are useful.

Many thanks, I am glad to hear this from you.

Yes there is a V-shaped internal metal frame.

I agree.

I have a feeling that Deuter will discontinue the Lite series, though I may be wrong. But I shall bear in mind your suggestion, thank you.

@ why’s that? I mean, they did a good job making a pretty comfortable light weight backpack (act lite)

@@fikrialanshory4589 I may be wrong, perhaps it will remain as it is. AC Lite is now in between Ultra and Core regarding the weight and features. But they have already discontinued a few sub-series from Aircontact group. That is why I initially though that making such a comparison with three new Aircontact sub-groups would not make sense. Remember what they did with Futura Vario,, their best ever, it was replaced with Futura Air Trek, and differences (pointed out in my site) are totally unimportant.. This is all just marketing. AC Lite packs are excellent.

@ well that makes sense, but what’s ur opinion about the AC Pro series that are also discontinued? And what kinda AC series that i need for my hike? I typically go on a 2-4 night hiking trip to a 2500m-3800m elevation mountain

@@fikrialanshory4589 Those are elevations where I go myself, so I can suggest a lot, but this will depend on i) type of equipment (expensive and less bulky/heavy vs affordable and more bulky/heavy), and ii) support (sleeping in huts vs sleeping in a tent). If you are focused on Deuter, the Core packs would be a very good option. Core offers several large packs so that you can carry comfortably whatever you have. It works better for heavy load than Futura Air Trek, I am pretty sure about that, although I like a lot the ventilated Futura design and have been using it since 2003. They have Aircontact X which is the best they have ever made, but they are heavy and expensive. It is important to try under load. But Aircontact Lite 50+10 could also work assuming it is not small for what you have. It is still available. Until very recently they had 65+10 but I do not see it on their site, but I see one version of it on Amazon. It is important to try a pack, so go to any shop and try them. I realized that sometimes some models simply do not work for me.

Totally agree, this was a steal.

Interesting. Could you share why? I listed some possible reasons, so is your one of them?

@mountainsforeverybody just more comfortable,plus I seem to pack more in( not always a good idea with me) 🤭 I tend to pack quite well....Plus they seem heavier..

I never hike more than 15 miles at any one time..

@OldtricksForolddog This about packing more may make sense because the shape is not so rigid as in a framed pack, so I understand the point. And framed are expected to be heavier for obvious reasons.

@mountainsforeverybody but I need to take certain items..as I tend to camp (all the lightweight gear is too expensive), plus my medical equipment ..

Excellent price, I would not think twice. The same for X, on their site it is 410 E.

It will not fit, just measured, it is 60 x 31 cm.

​@@mountainsforeverybodythank you very much !!

Most welcome.

Most welcome.

Of course they would, there is nothing wrong with them. I was using them on a few mountaineering tours and soles are great for a rocky terrain. They will work great on the snow as well. The real problem is that the boots absorb water like a sponge, and you are not aware of it until it is late.

@@mountainsforeverybody I'm curious have tried Vessi shoes, their push advertising all over UA-cam about their waterproof shoes.

@@balsalmalberto8086 I have not used them, but I would not trust anything they claim about waterproofness. They might be a few days until chemicals from the surface are washed out.

And DMC is?

@@mountainsforeverybody fans of your style of video. keep them coming they are great.

@@JackthornLife You made my day. Thank you.

Hi, design vs weight is a separate topic. This video and post is about capacity. I would not consider using a 50 L pack without a frame. But there are ultralight packs in the range you mentioned and with a frame, I had one in hands a few months ago, a pack from Zpacks. What to consider? Make a list of features that are essential for you and see if they are missing in such ultralight packs. Also check you budget.

@mountainsforeverybody well, yes, with my 2nd part suggestion I meant another video. Thank you for answer!

@@hoellenhund1000 I met an Italian in the Alps who was using a Zpacks pack, incredibly expensive but very advanced. He was totally delighted with its performance, but admitted it was too expensive, a modular design where you can add various features by ordering elements separately. I think he mentioned something around $550 or so. Worth considering if you are willing to pay, start from a minimal configuration and then build it up as you like.

Hope it was useful.

I am happy to hear that it was useful. There are more videos of that type here, and new are coming.

Very true, most I know, same for straps, but some great manufacturers do an awful job even making their own explanatory videos

I hope it was useful.

Hi 1. The same size, but I am pretty sure Mammut boots are narrower. Cannot directly compare now because I threw away Salomon boots last year when I was in the mountains, they served me great but they were too old. 2. Yes, I was using them last summer on several tours in the Dolomites, lots of snow on high mountains even till the end of July. You can see one of the tours here: mountainsforeverybody.com/climbing-tofana-di-dentro-by-bivacco-barraca-degli-alpini-route On this tour I was using them with light CAMP Frost crampons, you can see them in my earlier review here: mountainsforeverybody.com/camp-frost-crampons-review These Mammut boots are not for snow really but I used them anyway. They are not waterproof, and sole is not rigid enough when you have to cut into the snow on steep slopes. This is why on my Monte Pelmo tour I used real mountaineering boots Scarpa Triolet together with true crampons.

As you see there is a bit more to it. Thank you for commenting.

I hope it is useful. Thank you.

It would be better without clouds. But it was great.

Great to hear from you, thanks.

Hi, this is a ferrata and you can attach yourself at dangerous passages. But you can definitely fall, so I cannot give any wise answer, I guess nobody can. If you go to such places, do your best and hope for the best. Your question motivated me to write a post in the site, it is available here: mountainsforeverybody.com/what-happens-if-you-fall-on-a-ferrata-tour

Thank you. Though I would not describe the tour as a hike. Crampons, ice axe, and all ferrata equipment was used.

Hi, if you have the mat I am sure you will love to use it. It is cold in the evening and it will make your stay in tent more pleasant. For cot too, it is very good to have an extra layer. I did not use cot but a chair and I was always worried about the floor. You have a great tent.

The word comfort may have different meaning for different people. Please follow the link below the video to read my full text in the site.

@mountainsforeverybody Comfortable for my shoulders and back. because I use a backpack made locally in my country but it is not comfortable at back system and shoulder pad.

@@elzhabi4922 For shoulders, I do not think you will have any difference. For back, Futura backpacks are ventilated, so you should experience less sweating, or better to say better air circulation. But lumbar area is very different, there is no way to know which will work better for you until you try it under a full load. I warmly advise that you read the text in my site for more details.

I would say the best in the Dolomites.

I do not use drones. In fact it is not a theory, this is how I deal with this, details are given in the post (the link below the video). It is correct what you are saying for the situation when you are on the glacier, but even then you can navigate it if you apply some tips mentioned in the text. I go solo and I use them, and I am still around, hopefully this will remain so.

Indeed.

Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words.

No problem, great to hear from you.
