So, in reviewing gear for this summer's adventures, I think I may try to sell my old Osprey
Crescent 85 and opt for the
Aether 85.
20% off, small but useful dividend, and two pounds less base weight. Bonus: it comes in "magma", hastening my switch to oompa loompa.
It will be a difficult transition: my beast and I have been on some memorable trips together.
So what are some of your favorite old pieces of gear? Something you would hate to give up, but the newer technology might make it obsolete, too heavy, or otherwise?
