Specifications
What do these specs mean? →Features
Pros
- ✓129 L is more volume than any other Sky-series bag, enough for a guide's camp kit plus a client's overflow.
- ✓The 150+ lb load rating and a 2,500+ ci shelf between bag and frame mean meat rides tight to the stays.
- ✓Cinches down to a 4,500 ci bivy mode, so the same bag can work a spike camp on lighter days.
- ✓The Sky Lid comes in the box and unclips to serve as a fanny pack.
- ✓Frame choice costs nothing extra, and the Xcurve adds vertical yoke travel for shorter torsos.
- ✓Cordura 500 and X-Pac with a #10 YKK zipper on a bag sewn in the USA.
Cons
- ✗$775 complete is the top of the Sky line, $450 more than buying the bag alone for a frame you already own.
- ✗5.5 lb on the lightest frame is heavy carry for anything short of a full expedition.
- ✗No hydration sleeve in the bag; the Hydro Sleeve is a separate purchase.
- ✗No raincover, and the Stone Glacier cover adds $55.
