Anyone have a Packa they gave up on but is still in great condition? Or even with a repair on it?

I have one - used one weekend. Like new condition. Just didn't love it like I thought I would. If you are interested I'll try to post some pics and details.
I am interested in the Packa. They look awesome online. What did you not like about them besides the terribly high price? How much are you hoping to recoup? the only problem I have heard is not being able to get into the pack without shedding the only protection you have. Is that what you found troublesome?

I also have one I would like to get rid of. The only reason I plan on selling is because I want a lighter version.
I did find it more restricting than I expected. That said, my Exos 58 large is a pretty big pack. If your pack is smaller this should be less of an issue. I cannot remember any more details and I am off to a hang early tomorrow. If you haven't settled on one before I return, I'll be happy to discuss it further. Please keep in mind that this Packa has been worn once for about 4 hours. No scratches, tears, etc. Like new.
Anyone interested in a cheap version, here is one http://www.amazon.com/SnugPak-92285-...ywords=snugpak
I picked one up and figure I can rip underarm seams and either put in zippers or velcro for pit zips.
Additional, mine is a 33d / large / large pack cover
Original price: The 33D Packa costs $118.50 + $6.50 shipping US
I'll take $100 via paypal - I pay shipping Continental US
Nope, it doesn't. It's waterproof, not breathable and ventilated.
I have a few quilt's worth of rain jackets - you name it, Event, Goretex, whatever tex, the latest miracle fabric that's "waterproof breathable" has failed me utterly when I needed it the most.
I use a $12 poncho that's made to fit over a backpack. It's waterproof, it's not breathable - and it doesn't pretend to be waterproof or breathable, but it is ventilated.
