six moon design fusion 65 pack / Lightwave Ultra

Has anyone used this pack? It is sort of recommended by Chris Townsend. The US website is selling them at half price, which probably means something is up - maybe an improved design.

I'm wondering whether to replace my wrongly-fitted older model Osprey Exos with this as the new Exos seems in reviews to fare badly with narrower straps causing chafing when fully loaded.

Chris also mentions the Lightwave Ultrahike which is probably another one hard to find in a shop.

Any comments welcome.

Thanks

Paul

Chris rates that pack highly. When talking with him about it he would have used it for his backpacking film with Terry, but the colour scheme put him off it for the look they needed for the film. I expect white and gold are why they have them to sell at half price. Having seen the pack, I would say its a top pick for the TGOC for most along with the Gossamer Gear Mariposa.
