Major Seam Failure. Buyer beware.
I have used this pack moderately since purchasing around a year ago. The other day I pulled it out to load with a few items for a day hike and saw the main seam that runs lengthwise had completely separated making the entire pack useless. For $130 I wouldn’t expect the pack to fail so completely after such a short period. Again, the pack was barely used and definitely NOT abused in any way. The seams apparently are just glued together and that glue seams to have dried out and failed. Obviously, I would not purchase again and am having doubts about Hyperlite as a company for allowing this garbage to be passed on as their final product. Looking around the internet, I see this is a pretty common failure… with no solution.
