In addition to Musil and Pessoa, CMP has published not only Baudelaire and Wordsworth and the Ghrasim Luca of Mary Ann Caws, but also Iceberg Slim, a new Gilgamesh (Stuart Kendalls), Ahmad Shamlou, Maura Del Serra, and the collected prose of Robert Kelly
The Allpa 42 comes with an easily removable hip belt (I removed mine before the trip)
Overall, however, it was comfortable enough not to wince when shouldering the pack
It is quite slim and small, which helps it fit into the Essentials Pocket and not take up much space
The 17-inch model is what I dove straight into testing over the past 3 months
There is a shallow bottom lip that can catch gear as it falls down, but its not an ideal layout overall
