Loading ...We've reviewed our share of packs here at The Outpost but we've never tested a pack quite like the Archwood Flextrek 37 Trillion ZXYVR/M-Series Magnum Package.
The Flextrek has no shortage of space. With 37 trillion cubic inches you can literally bring anything you want. One of our testers even brought a saxophone for playing at camp. We have reviewed many packs ranging from daypacks to week-long gear haulers. The voluminous interior makes this pack perfect for a long trip... maybe a year or two?
The strap system on the Flextrek proved to keep the load tight, but the pack was often off balance somewhat. The literature that comes with the pack recommends doing daily back and stomach exercises to ensure you are prepared to carry a pack like the Flextrek. In some cases they recommend having steel rods surgically implanted on either side of your spine to make for a comfy load distribution. We agree with this assesement.
Most of the footage we've seen of the Flextrek has been in a desert climate. We wanted to give the pack a go in a more forested environment.Our testers did find that the Flextrek had a bit of trouble with low clearance areas on the trail. Anything over the height of our testers head would catch the pack. But our tester also found if they powered through they would merely snap the limbs, branches, and bridges off that were causing the clearance problem.
The M Series is a beautiful edition to the Flextrek family. We're not sure where you can buy the Flextrek 37 trillion yet, but as soon as we know we'll fill you in. There is also no news on what the suggested retail price will be. We expect a pack of this calibur to come in at a lofty price.

I want one
A very helpful review. I wonder if the testers found the Flextrek as effective at humiliating it's surroundings in the woods as it appears to be in a desert environment.
I hope the rapid access turgid spring release action on my Flextrek doesn't decrease with age. I guess it remains to be seen.
