“Very cool! What's a screamer valve?”

“I don't know. I recon it gives ya a lotta water all at one time.

I'll be useing it in 3 weeks on the Black Hills trip.
I'm cramming all my junk in it now. So far, so good.”

“I have an Ultimate daypack and I love it. Mine also came with the roll-top water bladder and screamer valve. I already had a bladder and bite valve though so I just keep mine for a spare.”

“I'm not too crazy about water bladders. I plan to toss it in the gear closet and continue to use Nalgene bottles.”

“For 3000 cu in...it better be only 2.5lbs.”

“How much and where do you get it?”

“Ah, the mark of a true addict...”

“It was $120 (with discount cupon)

Got it at BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN SPORTS in Nashville.”

“My Kelty Tempest was getting worn out.”

“Not you, WD, lizs....lol...”

“A screaming deal and a great looking pack. Looks like it would wear well.

Congrats”

“It's got that thin nylon material. I wonder how long it will hold up? I can put gear through some abuse.”

“sounds saweet WD, can't wait to hear how it holds up. i need a pack in that size/weight/price range....”

“I give a review on it after the Black Hills trip.”
