- I realize this video is a bit longer than most gear reviews but I felt this pack needed the attention and a thorough explanation of my thoughts on it. If you want to see more about the Swift V, here's a link to the SMD page.

Helpful, thanks! I'll probably get it because there's nothing else like it: running vest and ~50L size. As I suspected and your review confirmed, I'll probably be cutting a LOT of things off of it. Seems like such a great pack, and all other reviews (diff size/shape people) say it's very comfortable. If they trimmed off some of the crap, it would also make it lighter - 36-40oz is a lot compared to some of the ultralight frameless 40L packs around 14oz.
I don't understand why you got the large vest when you had the option of getting one of the other 2 they offer. They didn't make you get it. lol. That said, the vest sets this apart from other packs for comfort and not having the vest makes it very generic in my opinion. I've often wonderer why more packs don't come this way. I'm 6'3", 205 lbs with a somewhat narrow chest and love how the vest wraps around my core and distributes the load. But I can see how it would constrict a wider chest. Kudos to you for such a thorough tour of the pack.
I got the vest for the very reason you stated. I wanted to try a pack with vest-style straps for the comfort aspect. I'm glad it works for you, it just wasn't for me. I do have a set of S-straps now and will give the pack more time on the trail.
Would have really enjoyed this review but we never saw the pack....? ....not being negative but maybe redo with pack in full view.....Love your videos though.....hope this helps....
Good point. I'll have another on in a month or so. I'll make sure to show the whole pack.
Thanks, I really enjoy your videos....@@gregmortonoutdoors
