Does anyone use waistpacks a lot? - 02/26/07 10:00 PM
I'm looking to start a discussion on waistpacks. I just purchased this used Arc'teryx Q10. This is my first waist pack and got me thinking, what are people's opinions on waistpacks? Maybe it's just me, but they seem to be fading in popularity. I've looked around in stores and I couldn't seem to find a quality waistpack until this one...
Here are the specs :
High capacity lumbar pack that adjusts perfectly to the curve of your back. With high-efficiency compression belts that ensure content stability.
420 deniers Ripstorm nylon with 620 deniers reinforcement on stress points.
BiSect™ suspension
Hypalon™ bottle holster
Hypalon™ compression straps
WaterTight™ zippers, an Arctéryx exclusive
SquashPod™ hipbelt
Top grab handle
Zippered internal pocket
Thermoformed suspension
Two water bottle pockets
Volume : 630 cu in. 10 lt.
So my question in the end is, do you use a waistpack, and if so, why? What do use it for? (PSK, small BOB, FAK?)
