Hi, I am considering a second hand Aarn Guiding Light pack. I would appreciate anyone with experience with this pack providing any thoughts or feedback, things for consideration.
I am assuming this pack is no longer in production as it is not on the website. I have read the blurbs on resellers sites, and a few online reviews. There are a few comments on this forum around them too. Have read most recent threads on Aarn packs in this forum.
I have decided to try the Aarn system (the two septuagenarians I met at Lake St Clair having just completed OLT said the Aarn system has prolonged their hiking days sold it to me), am working out whether the Guiding Light will suit or not, or whether I wait for a different model to come up second hand (am in no rush). And trying to determine if the price is reasonable, any thoughts on pricing for a good condition Guiding Light pack would also be appreciated.
Info about me - I have not hiked for years due to knee issues. Kids are getting older and would like to try to get back into it to take them out. I expect I'd be doing 1-3 night trips, but have always wanted to do OLT and South Coast Tracks, so after a pack that could do the longer trips.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
