5 things WRONG with the Zpacks Arc Haul

Let's get one thing out of the way. I love my Zpacks arc haul and consider it to be one of my best ultralight backpacking gear purchases. That being said I'm not naive enough to think that it's perfect. I've done a critical review of this pack before but wanted to go over some additional negatives (to me) that have been brought to light by even more trips. I still will continue to recommend this pack to others but wanted to give you more information in making a purchasing decision.
