Hey there,
I noticed in Atom Packs’ latest newsletter, they mentioned the whole team was on a backpacking trip. They had to sew their own packs but also did some product testing. They shared their team hike on their blog.
However, I noticed only in the newsletter mail Tom is seen with a new running vest style harness in a single photo. You can’t see that photo in their blog entry. On Instagram they posted some behind the scenes photos of their trip and again Tom is seen with vest style straps.
I noticed this and desperately wanted to share it with somebody, but I guess no one else would be interested in this find except hopefully some people here.
Personally, I would love Atom Packs picking up the trend of offering a vest like strap on their normal packs. They are not strictly speaking fast packing backpacks - however Nashville Pack also uses vest style harnesses and there the people appreciate it tremendously.
I love my Atom Packs harness and my Nashville as well, however I am not sure whether vest style straps would work on, let’s say, a 20kg/44lbs Atom Packs Prospector - but then again we would not talk about that here in r/Ultralight, right?
