Hyperlight Junction for an Arthurs traverse
Posted: Sun 28 Aug, 2022 9:24 am
HI all,
I am looking for a new pack and am considering a Hyperlight Junction (possibly 34000) and my question is whether anyone has used one for an Arthurs traverse? Are there any thoughts on durability and suitability for 14 days in SW Tas? I think at the start I will be towards the upper end of the advertised load carrying capacity but within the 9-18KG suggested.
For context, I’m currently in a relationship with an old, made in NZ, large Glissade (2+ kg empty)and this pack has served me well over many adventures (it feels like betrayal just looking at another pack) IM just not sure the multiple repairs and wear points (both my knees and the pack) will last much longer if i keep using it and it is now my heaviest piece of kit by far. But I think maybe i need to upgrade or is this the best pack for a traverse?
Any thoughts or experiences with the Hyperlight are appreciated.
Cheers
