seek outside gila packs

[blaizerpascal]

Interesting. Good to hear. I love my Divide 4500. It feels/carries better than any Zpacks, ULA, GoLite, Osprey pack I have ever tried or had. The only downside is it weighs north of 3.5 pounds. I'm not ultralight, but am lightweight.

I'm a bit late to this thread but currently on the hunt for a new pack, moving on from an HMG Southwest. I want something with more volume and weight capacity and was considering the ULA Ohm 2.0 or the Divide/Gila. Care to share more your thoughts on comparing these? I am lightweight, but will occasionally throw a bottle of whiskey or someone's tent if need be, so volume is a consideration.

I had an Ohm 2.0. Great pack! But for me it was redundant with my Zpacks Arc Haul. I never liked rain covers so I stuck with my arc haul.

Ohm vs Arc Haul, focused on Ohm...

Ohm advantages:
- comfort up to 30 lbs... super comfy!
- Ohm water bottle pockets were awesome!
- ohm front mesh pocket was easier to stuff when main pack body was full

Ohm disadvantages:
- not waterproof/seam sealed. Needs a
- smaller volume main compartment compared to Arc Haul

Bottom line - there’s a reason the Ohm is so popular

I have the Seek Outside Gila in XPac X-21. With the center stay removed it weighs 2lb 10oz and has a 57L main bag. The Divide in X-21, with a 79L main bag, weighs only 2lb 12oz.

Both are watrproof and can carry 35-40lbs like a dream and handle whatever weight your legs can carry.
