I do not like this backpack. The previous version was awesome. The new one does not have proper gear loops for transporting an axe. I actually don’t even understand how the gear loops are to be used. There isn’t a hook on them to wrap around an axe and attach to the bag. The loop is just a loop of elastic cord with a cincher on it. Am I supposed to just stick my axe through the loops and tighten them? I actually tried to do this with my axe and it is too long to be able to get it through both loops without taking one off, which is not very quickly possible. Also, if the gear loops are to be used for an axe, the bottom-most place for attaching the loops still isn’t low enough if you have a longer axe. That is super disappointing. The old version held an axe perfectly and it was easy to put it on and take it off the pack. The back system on the new pack makes it so there isn’t a separate compartment for the bladder like there was on the old Trailblazer, which I really liked. Also, when adjusting the back system to a medium-large setting, it leaves a huge swath of exposed Velcro against your back, making fleece garments catch and pull on the Velcro. The old trailblazer had just enough structure to be comfortable, while still being packable in a larger bag to take on multi-day expeditions. This new one has a big bulky back to it which makes it heavier and less packable. There is also not a good way to attach a helmet to the outside without adding more straps, which will make…
