I have got to say, this pack is most definitely 'lite'! I got a large (2318 cubic inches), and it is 1lb 18 oz. It expands to maximize your stow. A week long trip would be cake for this pack. There is one downside to this pack. There are only two compartments and only two access zippers. I spend quite a bit of time digging for things I needed on the fly on the outer pouch. The big main compartment fit all my stuff sacks just fine, but it would have been nice to be able to access the front pouch two different ways, and maybe be able to access the main compartment from the bottom of the pack as well as the top. Overall, this pack is comfortable, extremely lightweight, and pretty user friendly. I'm excited to review this product a year from now, after long-term use.

I think I would feel bamboozled if I got this pack and it weighed 1lb 18oz, since GoLite, BC, and other online retailers list it at 1lb 10oz (although probably for the medium, the large lists at 1lb 12oz at one site). Six to eight ounces is a considerable discrepancy. I just bought this pack in medium, and the GoLite hangtag says 1lb 11oz @38L, which if accurate, I can live with. I will have to put it on the scale. If it's 1lb 18oz, it's going back...
