really depends, if you're sacrificing 'comforts' an experienced hiker can slim down to a 15lb bag. With careful packing and a moderate comfort level, you can swing 30lbs easily, but shaving weight takes experience. Also, hiking solo you have to carry most of the things that 2-3 people can split between each other... so hiking with a group you can go lighter. The nice thing about this pack size is you have a great flexibility of trip length. With careful planning you could easily travel for 5-8 days, but at the same time you could simply do a 2 day trip and not feel like you were carrying alot of floppy bag space. If you are weight conscious, check the weight of the bag itself, 4lbs is kinda heavy. That's 4lbs that you can eat and won't keep you warm... something to think about.
