I am currently using an Equinox Katahdin with a Ridgerest S for a frame. Because this gives me a barrel shaped pack resting on my tail bone much of my back is exposed my pack loaded for several days weighs less than 25 pounds often less than twenty. I am thinking of packing the mountains above St. George Utah the last part of this summer. I hate to add weight, is there something you would suggest as a step up? I must admit as is I love this pack.

Yeah the removable stays are nice and the suspension system is a good way to go. Adding a little weight on the pack is a good place to ad it. Even though you have a lbs or 2 more it will be easier to carry then 3 or 4 lbs less because of the more comfortable pack. Im also an ultra light backpacker but still use a good pack because it is just more comfortable and dont notice the 3 extra pounds it really feels like there is 5 less pounds on my back. Its like sure you could wear sandals and be light to but your not going to move better.
