50 or 60 Liter Aarn Peak Aspiration Backpack

LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORT
This is by far the most comfortable pack I've ever used. I've previously used packs from Macpac, Montana, Osprey and Kathmandu and none of them come close to the comfort of the Peak Aspiration. All the weight gets comfortably carried on your hips to the point I get tricked into thinking I'm carrying less weight then I actually am. Being able to tighten the top and bottom of the hip belt means it doesn't need to be uncomfortably tight like a lot of other single piece belts. I don't typically carry enough to justify using the front pouches and the pack works amazing this way. It's not necessary to use the front packs for it to be super comfortable. I'm a convert and don't see myself ever using anything else.

I am so impressed with this pack that I just felt I had to say thank you for the thought put into design! I do a lot of hiking and long distance hitchhiking, right now I am doing the winter in Sweden and for warmth have to carry a lot, my previous Deuter bag was not big enough so I went to buy a new pack and found a 45l Peak Aspiration and the expedition pockets... I filled the bag and tried it on and was so impressed that I had to buy it although way out of my budget (now I'm too poor to eat, but my back is happy!). I really can't get over it, even without the balance pockets and a 15kg+ load on my back I can hardly feel it, and the movement is incredible! if I had found a pack like this a couple of years ago I'd be in much better shape. it is truly amazing and I will be recommending your products to EVERYBODY and barely glancing at other brands, I hope one day I can afford some other sizes for other needs, but this is really going to make a big difference to my winter and I have to thank you! It feels weird doing this about a bag, but I really can't say how impressed I am and how much of a difference it makes to my adventure.
My body thanks you!

PACK REALLY WORKED
I've tested the pack on a 4 day hike in the Victorian alps, Australia. I found it very comfortable and often forgot I was wearing it, though of course I was aware of carrying a load. In contrast, previous packs I was forever fiddling with the straps without making the pack sit or feel much better, and often getting not-insignificant shoulder and hip pain. Also, the pockets made accessing gear far easier and quicker and I found I saved a lot of time throughout the day and making and breaking camp not having to pull everything out. In short, I am very pleased with the product and it did what I'd hoped.

REALLY GREAT GEAR; EXCELLENT SERVICE
We've had our Aarn packs for a few years now, they've proved themselves comfortable and practical. The design is as good as it gets. We've had a couple of little things that needed looking at, like rips in the waterproof lining and the after sales service has been excellent. Very highly recommended.

A WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD OF BACKPACKING
Peak Aspiration with Sport Balance pockets has opened up a whole different world of backpacking. I can actually hike all day without upper body fatigue. Walking in a natural, balanced posture while carrying weight is absolutely amazing and light years ahead of all other packs. I dont understand why such a basic, fundamental concept as balance hasnt caught on. I tell anyone who is interested on the trail that once you experience a balanced load you will never go back to a traditional pack. Too many people worry about weight and not at all about balance - which is fundamentally more important. The whole system has been so well thought out and executed in terms of attention to detail and quality. Just the slight cupping of the hip belt makes a huge difference in terms of all day comfort. The idea of a Balance Pack is one thing, but if the design and execution arent there, all else is futile. In this regard, Aarn has succeeded by far. Ive wanted to tell you this for the past two years but have been too busy actually enjoying hiking.
