This pack is the straight cut version of the
original SARC, the pack the Sarc Series is named after. The Sarc is
a tapered pack that does not accept bayonets - The Popcan shape has
now replaced the SARC - the reverse taper; smaller at the bottom than
the top is more useful.
The S-Sarc is our well known Weekend Warrior pack we developed in the
mid 80s that has been getting better ever since. It
has the volume necessary to
get you through a week of climbing or light packing yet it is not too
much
for day or weekend use. Along with the 0-Sarc (The Sarc came first),
it is
one of our most sought after packs.

Above: A dyed Full Dyneema Super Sarc with a
2 layer summit flap instead of hip-pack top. The top of this pack IS
a darker gray than the rest of the pack - for those that prefer a more
intense gray color. The daisy chains are dyed yellow full dyneema. The
rear Kangaroo pocket has an extra 'outrigger' daisy chain to help with
strapping on gear like crampons. The side water pockets are the double
pocket type that can hold pole type objects in a separate sleeve than
the water bottle. Below: More of a side profile. Click
images for blowups. This 5,000 cuin. pack as is weighs 4.6 lbs.
Ways to make it lighter would be a housed rather than grommeted drawstring,
single layer water pockets, single layer and unreinforced bottom area,
no Kangaroo, polypro rather than nylon web, smaller hardware throughout
pack, lighter stays, our UL back pad. As is, this pack was built for
rugged international travel and climbing. In the last photo below, in
summit mode, the pack weighs 3 lbs, 6 oz. It would easily weigh well
under 3 lbs if the main pack was lighter.


Below: In summit/daypack mode, without Bayonets,
Bypass straps, water pockets, and lid and lid straps. Even like this,
the pack can easily carry 30-40 lbs.

The
new map pocket above the main compartment on the Hip-pack top pocket
is optional. This fabric is wide Dyneema Grid.
