Man all these alpinist inspired packs are the same, looks awesome, but put a loaded ammo can or two in them and they just smoosh down your back all the same.
Greg, sounds like you’re a candidate for one of our “normal” packs – The Ute or standard qui-Ya. Guaranteed they’ll carry your ammo cans as comfortably as anything available. Unlike those, this “light” version is only intended for backpackers carrying normal backpacking gear.
Any plans for a 55liter? I’ll switch to it in a heartbeat.
