Gear Review
More Filling, Less Weight!
By moroni
Ranked #244 - Daypacks
July 3, 2009
Recently the wife & I went on a moonlight hike to a high lake. We used the GoLite Ion to carry all our gear, eliminating the need for another pack altogether. It weighs half as much as anything comparable & has 30% more volume. There are no ice axe loops or top pocket but @ ten ounces it does have a good suspension system including padded shoulder straps. Good, lightweight pack for $50 & nice color choices.
