Going Lite is Good

Ranked #1162 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
August 31, 2009
At significantly less than 4#, and over 4000ci, this pack is for those who leave the kitchen sink at home. I carried mine around the tetons for 3 days. I got used to the top-loader after switching from a top and panel loading e-frame. My only complaint was the hip pads: they don't come very far forward, so my 35" waist had a few bruises. My solution next time will be to use the cut-off sleeves from a fleece jacket to slide over the straps.
