Today I received my first MR backpack (Metcalf) in the mail. After reading many threads and hearing a lot of good things about MR, I decided to step up and purchase one. Yes, they are a bit pricey but from what I've read you can't go wrong with one. With me being no where close to MT to actually see, feel and try one on, I was a little apprehensive to purchase but after calling and talking to Andrew at MR he answered all my questions and steered me in the right direction. First impressions of the pack are very good, can't wait to load it up this weekend and put it through some paces! I just wanted to shout out to all the guys that have recommended MR, seems as advertised. Just thought I would share my initial impressions in case any other OYOA's are thinking of purchasing a MR.
=====> Question for experienced MRer's - Do any of you suggest washing your pack to de-scent the "new" smell and soften up the bag a bit? My thing is remove from the NICE frame, wash in scent eliminator, air dry then spray down the frame and bag in preparation for my Elk archery trip in Sept. Any thoughts?
