to order, the build quality would suffer as a result. However, both of my packs (and also my brother’s) are constructed to a consistent high quality. Structurally they can support loads far exceeding the listed capacity, which is more a guide of load distribution comfort.
When customising my 35 litre Superior Frameless pack, I chose to have: Black Cuben Fibre, roll top side compression, dual Lycra mesh shoulder pouches, no hip belt, no hydration port, and the bottom reinforced with durable VX21 X-Pac. As this design worked so well, I had the same options for my Long Haul. My brother designed his 25 litre Superior Frameless as a hiking pack that could double as a carry on for business travel. It is made from white VX07 X-Pac and has multiple internal pockets for his laptop and other electronics. Customisation is possible for nearly all design requirements.
The one downside of a made to order pack is that well … it is made to order. Your pack will not ship once you place an order, and the lead time is on average around eight weeks. Add another week for shipping to Australia and the process can be a real test of your patience. Fortunately, the pay-off is worth it.
It is said that your most important piece of gear is that which connects you to the
ground. No expense should be spared, and no comfort should be compromised when choosing boots. Otherwise every step and every blister will make you long for your couch back home. We wear our boots all day while hiking and so demand perfection. Well we carry our packs all day and so should demand the same perfection. We shouldn’t eye our packs with resentment. With a Superior Wilderness Designs pack, you can have that favourite boot experience.
