Good pack for any long B trip
I picked up this pack the other day, for my little trip to Europe and was surprised when I found out that there was enough room to squeeze my B rig in the bottom pouch (280 Blackjack). The Osprey Argon 110 large frame, is suppose to hold around 7100 cubic inches and around 80lbs. I have used many packs in my days, and this pack is by far the best I have ever used for either mountaineering or just traveling. The top lid is detachable and can be used as a cliff pack to jump some small stuff down. I would give this pack a 10 out 10 on quality, comfort, and awesomenessWink

Re: [six8fbird] Good pack for any long B trip
When gearing up how does it fit under your rig?

How does fit under tracking gear , cold weather clothes and the rig over it?

How Does it fit insides my wingsuit and winter clothes and my rig on?

I'm assuming like me you "wear" it going down.

Is it pretty stripped down , I.e. No foam padding , espeacially in the back and strap areas.

Is it like the ones Apex BASE sells?

Also is it on a website we can get a better look at?

Thanks for posting! Would like to see more of it!

It fits well and comfortable around my waist. It does not interfere with rig at all. I do have to use rubber bands to secure the excess straps. There is a foam piece, "lumbar foam support". I have not seen the one that Apex sells so I can't compare the two. It is big enough that I can stuff my PF Phantom wing suit in it. It holds my tracking suit and a couple of 16oz bottles of water. It fits nice underneath cold weather clothes and my PF tracking top. Hope that helps. I have not jumped it with anything other than a tracking suit.
