    stains. $100 plus $10 shipping from KY, USA. Shipping will be more for

    "Good Deal at that price for approx 30-40LB loads. I used it for a 30 day
    Section hike of the Appalachain Trail (GE/NC/TN) at a max of 63LBS, normal
    45LBS. Good (Taco Style) side compression & shoulder harness, snugs down
    nicely."

    "The huge, dual-density foam hipbelt hugged my hips and combined with a
    lumbar pad that sat firmly but comfortably in the small of my back to move
    almost all of the burden off my shoulders. The frame, consisting of a
    plastic sheet and two aluminum stays, supported the weight like extra back
    muscles. Maybe, just maybe, I thought while grunting up another ridge, a
    heavy pack isn't such a bad thing. At 7 pounds 5 ounces, the Sovereign is
    among the weightiest on the market, and the sturdy suspension is only part
    of the reason. Three suspension and sack sizes are available for a
    near-custom fit. The pack also boasts an astonishing capacity range; the
    medium size swallows up to 6,880 cubic inches, but collapses to a mere 2,850
    cubic inches when you cinch the clamshell-like panels on the sides of the
    packbag around a light load.
    It's those clamshells that set this pack apart. Each panel holds a Delrin
    rod bent like a taut bow. The pack's natural shape is boxy, with the panels
    square to the wearer's back. Once you load the pack, compression straps pull
    those panels together like a clam closing up. Voil, the pack has a more
    normal-looking tubular shape and the contents are nice and snug. As for
    loading, the Sovereign has both top access (through an extendable top
    collar) and panel access (through a large zippered rear door). Inside the
    rear flap are storage pockets for small items. Inside the clamshell panels
    are larger mesh pockets. Large mesh pockets on the outside of the pack hold
    water and fuel bottles. Which brings us to the lid. On the plus side, it's
    a roomy, triangular compartment that detaches to form a [censored] pack. "
