Congratulations! You will get many years of use out of that pack. I have been eyeing them also. Please let us know how it handles a heavy load, or a bear barrel.

I have no interest in that particular pack, but I did notice that REI now sells HMG.
I have an HMG 2400 that I typically use when on weighted practice hikes, wrapping a 20lb dumbell in a jacket for some cushioning.

Look forward to your report. But you really need to stop maligning corvids.  |

paula53 The HMG Daybreak is a 17 liter day pack. Worst case it will be loaded with crampons and an ice axe for day use. Have asked the bear canister question myself. Need to test our Bearikade Weekender canister with HMG Junction 3400 or Southwest 3400 backpack. Future plans will require a bear canister either mandatory or an elective. Will let you know! Thanks for the reminder.
