CiloGear 75L W/NWD WorkSack

Horrible, painful, uncomfortable, miserable!

I have tested expensive bag 75L W/NWD bag $1500 in the Himalayas on an expedition to Ama Dablam for 1 month. This bag is the most uncomfortable bag I have worn in my mountaineering career. I wonder if you have field tested it?

The shoulder straps bit into my shoulder, causing intense pain and caused the blood supply to stop to my hands. It's in fact a dangerous bag and can lead to accidents on the mountain.

I covered more than 80 miles with this backpack, so I know what I am talking. I spent lot of money on this and could have bought three backpacks which were more comfortable.

I want modifications done on it or please take the return.

1. Shoulder straps very short and not well padded and very uncomfortable. They even block blood supply in the axilla/armpit because it creates a tourniquet effect
2. There should be more padding over the sacral area for heavy loads.
3. Side pockets are impossible to access while the bag is on my back and it's full. They are also useless to store anything when backpack is full because they lose their volume.

This bag is not waterproof!!

It's damn stiff! Stiff! And stiff!! 

The chest strap connecting the shoulder straps will rise up to your throat if you try loosening the shoulder straps to give your painful shoulders a break!

I carried 30 kg in this pack!! I was miserable!!

It's not possible to shift the weight to the hips when the shoulders are getting tired!

That's why I say, has this pack been field tested?

The most horrible backpack ever!!

Hello, Cilogear team, I tested your most expensive bag in the Himalayas on an expedition to Ama dablam for one month. This bag is the most uncomfortable bag I have worn in my mountaineering career. I wonder if you have field tested it? The shoulder straps bit into my shoulders and caused the blood supply to stop to my hands. It's in fact a dangerous bag and can lead to accidents on the mountain. I am sending you the video soon. I spent lot of money on this and could have bought three backpacks which were more comfortable. I want modifications done on it or please take the return. 

1. Shoulder straps very short and very uncomfortable leading to severe pain in the shoulders. They even block blood supply in the axilla/armpit because it creates a tourniquet effect 
2. There should be more padding over the sacral area for heavy loads 
3. Side pockets are impossible to access when the pack is full and on the shoulders. They are also useless to store anything when backpack is full because they lose their volume. 

That's why I say, has this pack been field tested? 

CiloGear has not responded to my emails and phone calls. I asked them to modify the shoulder straps and they don't want to do it. I will not trust CiloGear! Their packs are not put through the rigorous testing like Gregory.
