I am currently in the market for a large sized backpack for alpine winter trips. With a robust tent, a thick sleeping bag and extra clothing some additional volume is required. All usual providers such as Atom Packs, Bonfus, Durston, Gossamer Gear, Huckepacks, Hyberg, Hyperlite Mountain Gear (HMG), KS Ultralight, Liteway, Zpacks & Co. do rarely sell packs with more than 50 liters. HMG would have some models with 70 liters, but according to user experiences their recent workmanship became a gambling since moving the production facility to Mexico.
Do you have any recommendations for a more or less alpine-usable pack in the range of 60 liters or above?
Within my research I stumbled across cottages like…
Due to the innovative material choices I very much appreciate CiloGear as well as Alpine Luddites, since they are using UHMWPE. The CiloGear 75L MOB WorkSack seems to be a beast with its 2.080 g (the price tag as well :-)). Also the Alpine Luddites Alpine Machine 60/70/80 looks very promising.
Some shops do sell Mystery Ranch, which also seems to be a good quality, but far away from beeing a cottage.
Do you have any other recommendations or hints?
Thank you very much! :-)
