Myself and a few others bought the Lowe Alpine Saracen after trying some on which were bought by our members who partook int he Cambrian patrol.
Amazing rucksacks. What digs into my shoulder and gives me a sore back with the CTS ruck I can't even feel with the Saracen. 75 lbs feels like 40. The rucksack just hugs your back perfectly.
Anyways, it's quite a bit lighter than the CTS ruck. While putting weights in the ruck I noticed the back support and metal bars of the Saracen feel almost flimsy. Not exactly flimsy but enough to make me wonder how much weight I could put in there without anything on the ruck getting deformed or bent out of shape. (Obviously taking into consideration what I can carry without getting torqued as well). there didn't seem like a lot of material between your back and the rucksack if that makes sense.
Does anyone know if the Saracen has any sort of weight limit or anything? Is the lighter design more of an illusion? As in it's lighter, seemingly a bit flimsy but can carry whatever?
Does the CF CTS ruck have a recommended weight limit?
