  1. Thanks for the rundown. Love how inov8 can do a decent pack for that price yet bigger brands are double the price. I’ve been running with the Salomon active skin 8 for several years, now that I have poles there is no where to store them or loops to add the quiver so I’m forced to look at getting another pack.
