I just ordered a Horn Hunter Full curl day pack...$250... pretty big price tag. I was on the fence with that pack and the Sitka flash 20. I didn't see where the Sitka was made and the Horn Hunter pack was really clearly made in USA, that was the deciding factor.
I will post a review in a few months. I VERY HARD on gear...if this thing is junk I will know pretty quick.
I've been using an old cabealas day pack that has been pretty good, It's on Zipper #3, but those are easy to have fixed. The steel supports are wearing through now and rubbing on my beltline...
