I'm always interested to hear what kind of gear works for people in ultras. I've got most ultra stuff covered but I have been accumulating some fast packing stuff recently but there is always so much more out there than I know about.
Anyway my most recent purchase was the a larger pack. I use a Salomon Skin Lab 12L pack for most of my ultras but I tend to run out of space for gear for colder and longer races. I picked up a Ultimate direction 20l pack but wasn't very happy with how it sits, so then I discovered this one http://www.salomon.com/us/product/peak-30.html and so far am very happy with it. It fits very similar to my other salomon pack but has way more room and a handy little waist strap when things get too heavy. The chest straps are also elastic and really hold the pack tight while running.
Anyway one miss and one hit. Now I need to unload the UD so I can get the Salomon 20L version too!
