First weight in grams, then on oz. Just do metric system or both.

I own an unbound 40. Happy to have this pack. ❤

[@BackcountryRenegade]

It’s my favorite so far !

[@alex.fastov]

Hi! Is it comfortable?

[@jakeva9802]

I have the sw3400 and the windrider 2400. They were good packs but I’ve moved to ultra packs instead.

Where did you get the red bungee cord in front of the Unbound? Thanks

[@iceman857]

I own the SouthWest because I do a lot of bushwhacking. I still to this day don't understand why they put a water bladder holder in. I wonder if ANYONE actually uses it?

[@BackcountryRenegade]

Haha yep I’ve never used it. In Much of their newer packs are getting rid of it

I never seen anyone use it. Thanks for the video.
