Recently got a 14r. Figured I’d start a thread for 14’r owners to share pictures, ideas, loadouts, and experiences (constructive please) regarding the pack. I’ll start by showing the pack configured for a long day hike with.....an Organizer!
Prior to getting the pack, I’ve never seen a picture of one with an Organizer. Since I had one, I gave it a try. It works quite well unless the top of the pack is stuffed to the gills. Tried a large belt pouch too, but it doesn’t fit as well, as the spacing between its three bar sliders is less. I can still reach under the Organizer to use the zipper, again if the top is not stuffed. The pockets on the lower sides are medium belt pouches and on the belt are a pair of Helikon GP pouches.
I’ve just had the pack out for one hike, and it carries and fits well, very ergonomic. The pack really is an evolution of the ole Spike/Express.
