**FS: summit/day pack -- Osprey Manta 30L
For Sale: Osprey Manta 30L
- Condition: Lightly used; bought for my girlfriend (a while ago); she's gone (that's good) and I kept the pack (even better). Some minor abrasions--on the pack, not the ex-girlfriend (see photos; again, of pack...).
- Color: Looks like light green to me. "Olive" maybe? (I'm not good at the whole what-color-is-it thing)
- Features: Lots. This pack has more pockets than a Vaudeville magician. (I count nine, but there may be more.) It even has special shock-chord, adjustable straps on the left shoulder strap for your hiking--uh, I mean TREKKING--poles. So if you get this pack, you'll be DYING for trekking poles. So you'll look COOL. Right. For a list of the features, see the screen capture I stole from REI.
- Hip Belt: Yup; it's got one. Small zippered pocket in each one, too. (FANCY!)
- Rain Cover: Oh, YEAH, it has one! Bright red, too (your favorite color, right?). Rain cover stows in its own packet (that makes 10, I guess) and has a built-in shock cord with cord lock to ensure air tight seal (well, almost). Also, rain cover detaches and can be used as a very, very, very, very small parachute in the event you're in a very, very, very, very dire emergency and you're certain--very, very, very, very certain--this is the way you want to die.
- Size: Frame is S/M (see photo).
- Pack Capacity: 27L. Yeah, I know it says "30L" on the front of the pack, but technically, because it's a S/M size, it's 27L. I don't want to get sued over 3L (maybe for 4L, but certainly not 3L).
- NOT Included: hydration reservoir/bladder. Do you really want the one I've been using all this time? If so, don't tell me. ("Awkward!") However, there is a dedicated slot for the hydration reservoir/bladder (the one you provide...).
- Retail Cost: bought it about eight years ago; think it went for around $150. REI has the 28L for $165.
- Price: $50 seems fair, plus shipping ($14 Priority Mail). PayPal Family & Friends or you pay the PayPal fee.
