|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Mountainsmith Borealis AT Broderick Stearns, Photographer Ardmore | OK | USA | Posted: 4:17 PM on 10.22.09 ->> Anyone have any experience with this pack? What can you really get in the camera compartment? Anywhere close to a 5D, 70-200, 16-35 and 50 f/1.2?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I love many of the mountainsmith products I have owned - their Tour waistpack is one of the best I've ever used, and holds up great. That being said, I was extremely underwhelmed by the Borealis I purchased (a purchase I made based on my past experience with Mountainsmith products). The stitching began pulling apart within a month of purchase, the pull tabs on the zipper broke almost immediately, and the pack was not as supportive and streamlined as I had hoped. Overall, it doesn't even seem like it was made by the same company that produces the fantastic waist packs many of us here enjoy. I'm not trying to bash Mountainsmith - as I said, they make many great products. I just don't think the Borealis AT is one of them.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Best of luck!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Steven E.
