Good deal on this Stone Glacier 6900?

[okie archer]

I am in the market for a new pack so I went shopping at a local sporting goods store today near me. They have the stone glacier 6900 sky talus on sale for $575.99.
I tried it on and adjusted it to fit me and came very near purchasing it but I wanted to think it over first. What are your thoughts on this pack and the price?

Well it’s no eberlestock but it’s packed a few critters out for me.

Do you like your eberlestock pack? Do you use the Mainframe? I've never tried one, but really like the Recon bino harness from them. I don't have a reason to switch away from my Kuiu, but curious to how you like it.

That's a pretty good deal on the pack. Like $720 normally.

I typically buy my packs used off here, ebay, or RS...for 40%-50% of new can get packs in very good to near new shape. YMMV

That said, I've got a SG Sky Archer 6400 and Solo 3600. Really like the SG pack, very lightweight and carries weight well for me.

I also tried mystery ranch and seek outside and settled on the stone glacier.

I have a Sky Talus 6900, and its by far my favorite pack. SG packs just work for me. That price sounds good, if it fits you and is comfortable, I'd go for it.
