Check out what just landed Stateside! A better part of the Ergon Outdoor line of packs is now here! Over the next few months, these packs will start making their way to select retail shops in the USA. If you have a ton of stuff to carry during your outdoor activities, the BA3 is the route to go. I have used this pack on and off the bike, and it is the pack to have if you have a large heavy load to carry.
Here is the BA3 completely filled up. Lots of room here folks! Chances are if it doesn't fit....you shouldn't be taking it along. Notice all the buckles and loops. This gives the user even more options to strap stuff to the outside of the pack. For example: snowshoes, sleeping pads, hiking poles, etc, etc.
The outdoor packs follow the same technology of the bike packs. The external frame and Flink ball joint system allow for freedom of movement and a gravity defying user experience.
Like I said, lots of room here. All the photos above were shot with 2 pillows stuffed inside. Don't forget, there is also a seperate compartment for a 100 oz bladder to fill with beer....err.....water.
I have had a chance to put the BA3 to the test in the prototype stages. The overnight trip to Winter Park from Boulder was an eye opener for me.....and just nicks the edge of the possibilities available when wearing the pack.
