After seeing the review of this pack that recently came out on the irunfar.com followed by several people emailing to ask me where they might pick one of these up at, I figured I should just post it so that everyone knows about the incredible pack coming down the pipes from Salomon.
It's called the Salomon XT Advanced Skin S-Lab pack and its probably the most comfortable pack that I have ever used. I got to use it and test it out for the first time back at Advanced Week in France this spring. It's the pack that was designed for Killian for UTMB last year. Put this pack on and seriously it feels like nothing is even on your back. It fits like a glove and has no up/down movement no sideways shifting. The pockets on the front (which come off and are interchangeable) allow for quick access to food, camera, sunscreen etc. It fits just the essentials that are needed for a good day out on the trails. The pack also comes with an emergency space blanket (something I know that we don't always bring but should.) I had desperately wanted to use this pack while running at the Tour des Geants last month but it didn't quite hold the amount of gear required. Anyways, its coming out soon, sometime early in 2011 so sit tight for just a little bit longer.
