Zpacks Nero Backpack

I purchased the Zpacks Nero backpack in October 2019 directly from Zpacks.

My gear is very close to being dialed in for this pack. I'm thinking of some upgrades that will bring me closer to my goal base weight.

This pack will likely be my "go-to" pack for 1–2 night backpacking trips.

I added some custom trekking pole holsters (similar to the Osprey Stow-On-The-Go trekking pole system) using 3/32" shock cord and a tiny cord lock making it possible to carry my trekking poles hands-free when not in use and without stopping.
I added a ULA Water Bottle Holder to the other shoulder strap.

Weight listed below is without any accessories or modifications.
