December 14, 2010 By 1 Comment
photo by hrXXLight.com I love the look of the LAUFBURSCHE huckePÄCKchen. It’s very unique and looks very well made. When it first appeared at the backpackinglight community many wanted one. I didn’t even bother looking at the specs, already I want one too. Laufbursche’s design concept is to make packs that provide maximum possible comfort [...]
