Great packFeels lighter than it is when fully loaded, as MR packs usually do. The adjustability is great which also helps make the pack so comfortable. Perfect pack for the weight conscious backpacker not looking to go ultralight, it really shines between 20-35 lbs load carry and can easily handle loads up to at least 45 pounds. And the price is at least as good as any of the competitors.Date published: 2024-02-26

Awesome backpackVery comfortable pack, lightweight but still able to handle a good load. I particularly appreciate the fact it has a brain. It’s not commun for lightweight packs.Date published: 2024-02-02

This is too light to be a Mystery Ranch Pack!I received my Radix 57 a couple of weeks ago and while I haven't used it yet, it is packed and adjusted for my trip. I do have some thoughts and nitpicks.First - I wish the top closure would fully close so that if you choose not to use the lid you could. A simple roll top would work to protect the inside from the elements.Second - the attachment points on the shoulder straps don't work well for a water bottle holder or phone pouch.Third - One of the waist belt pouches needs to be bigger since my Samsung A53 won't fit in the pouch and I can't use my phone pouch on the shoulder straps.My final thought is the straps really don't need to be as long as they are. I have little doubt I will love the pack since I own a Bridger and had a Dana Designs ArcFlex Astralplane I purchased in "88". This pack is much bigger than I expected, I probably could have gotten by with the Radix 47. The Radix seems comfortable and I am looking forward to using it soon.Date published: 2024-02-15

Carries wellI have a Terraframe 65 that has served me well for quite a few years but with age and wisdom I decided I wanted something lighter. I was researching ultralight packs when I saw a YouTube review of the Radix 57 and I decided to buy it in February. I have around a 50 late winter miles on it so far. The build quality is good with the expected tradeoffs of a lightweight product. I don’t like the finicky small buckles that are tough to use with gloves on but I’ll get used to them I suppose. The waist belt is comfortable with adequate sized pockets. The shoulder straps are comfortable. The yoke adjusts easily. The only real miss is the side pocket design. It is difficult to get a water bottle in and out of them while wearing the pack. It becomes impossible [for me at least) while winter backpacking when I wear a bulkier jacket and gloves. I am 6 ft/200 lbs with decent to good flexibility in my shoulders and torso but the location, angle and top hem of the pockets just aren’t conducive for easy access of a water bottle while wearing the pack. Again, this could just be me. Your experience may be different. I like the pack overall, more so when I use a water bladder instead of bottles. It’s just that using a water bladder works against being able to have a lighter load.Date published: 2024-03-16

Love it!After trying out many different packs (Osprey Atmos AG 65, Osprey Aether 65, Gregory Baltoro 65, Terraframe 3-Zip 50), the Radix 57 was the one that fit and felt the best for my body. Some people reported that the padding isn't enough for the Radix but for me, it's just perfect. I didn't like the thick padding like on the Atmos AG, etc.. it just felt "too much". The Radix also has just the perfect amount of loops and whatnot while still maintaining a "minimal" feel to it.Date published: 2024-07-20
