Need to buy a new pack, but can't decide between these two?
Anyone want to make the decision for me? They seem to be pretty similar packs.
The Nomad: I use one for mtbing at it's bigger brother, the Apex, for commuting. I find them to be far better quality than the Camelbaks, and more comfy too.
The Dakine has useful straps underneath for armour and suchlike, but I found it pretty uncomfortable when full, compared with a Hawg. Prefer the Camelbak, myself - comfier and a better reservoir.
just to confuse you further, take a look at the wingnut hyper 3.0. significantly easier to use than a hawg, which i have too. the hawg always felt full when rummaging around in it. contents of the pockets always encroached on the main compartments.
the wingnut sits better, lower down, and is much more stable - doesn't jig about half as much.
bit pricier though.
want to buy a hawg? 😉
Nomad
CB's are shite .... HTH
I do like the Nomad, but issue is finding somewhere that has them in stock, so might have no option but to choose the HAWG 🙄
Deuter
no, actually ERGON
I got a Nomad the other week on offer in Go Outdoors.

New Evoc packs look very nice. Dont think you can buy them in the UK yet though.

Osprey Talon 22 from Climbers shop £60 posted. Nice and light with plenty storage pockets but doesn't include bladder though has pouch for it. Just that bit bigger than HAWG but packs down small.
