今天偶尔到CLIMBING的网站上逛，
看到里面对TOP 10 Alpine Pack的评价。
里面对ARC TERYX的NEEDLE的评价比较有意思，
说它OVER BUILT，
就是结实的过火，在细节上太过分，
腰带太厚实了，
还有就是背板居然不可移除，
没有冰抓携行工具，
还不能做BIVY的垫子，
这里有个小小的疑问，
是因为背包有厚的热塑背板从而做垫子不舒服呢，
还是因为没有可以取下来做垫子的背板让人不快？
最后，给NEEDLE一个评价：B-
没看到以前的CLIMBING怎么评价KHAMSIN的，
KHAMSIN曾经得过CLIMBING的2001年的EDITOR’S CHOICE的大奖。
比较一下估计比较有意思。
B-的等级给人的感觉是给ARC TERYX留了些面子，
但里面的评价是相当不客气的，
就差没直接说ARC TERYX闭门造车了。
光一大堆好的面料，好的做工，好的技术，然后OVER BUILT，
很华丽的对砌出来，
一点也不问别人需不需要，需要些什么。
这点上，和CERRO TORRE 一样的毛病。
以前写过个帖子讨论CT的，
ARC好歹有自己的风格，
但CT就是属于穿满名牌但气质很差的那种。
记得磨房有人，好象是KINGCAO，
专门翻译过这个TOP10系列的，
有兴趣的朋友可以去找找看。

Arc’teryx Needle 65, $299
Summary: An alpine pack must be part backpack, part climbing pack; unfortunately, this pricey model from Arc’teryx is more the former than the latter. The workmanship is a thing of beauty and the packbag fabric is bomber, and whenever we had to fish something out, we appreciated the fact that it’s light-colored on the inside. In backpacking mode, we liked the large cargo pocket with the zipper running down the sack’s full length, but for climbing we’d have gladly traded it and the extra ounces for a hydration pouch. The suspension system is plush and thickly padded, but the hipbelt is thick to the point of being stiff and bulky — again, overbuilt for climbing. Additionally, while the dual-stayed V-suspension is removable, the cushy back padding is not, and therefore unsuitable as a bivy pad. Furthermore, there are no ice-axe lash straps included (just loops) and no crampon attachment system.
Pros: Internal frame. Clean design. Well made.
Cons: Overbuilt for climbing. No removable foam pad. No crampon attachment system. No pouch for a hydration bladder. Expensive. |
