Review of Kelty Cougar 2000

"I have the Blanca 2000 camo pack, which was out just before this pack and is nearly identical. There is every bell and whistle on this pack you could ever want. It is easy to keep stuffing and attaching stuff all over it; I have actually gone on a three day backpacking trip with it. My friend said I looked like a miner, there was so much junk strapped all over me!!! My biggest issue with the pack was the weight; close to four pounds, and no real frame to speak of. It does not carry well as some of my other daypacks, like the North Face Recon II, or Deuter Futura 28, which are both AWESOME and a similar size. There is not very much support to the backpanel at all. If you are carrying more volume than weight you might be OK, or if your torso is short enough it might fit great as it is. I didn't find the organizer panel as useful as I would have liked; it is very dark in there and when the main bag is stuffed full it bulges into the area where this front pocket should be able to ride. As a result, your load hangs out far from your back and actually feels like much more weight than it is. Of course, if you don't overstuff the main bag then you'll be OK, but there is too much fabric there and not enough frame overall.
THat being said, I still dig the pack and carry it around every once in a while when I need tons of gear and lashing points for a dayhike."
