“less is definitely more”

“This pack is so lightweight, it instantly reduced my overall pack weight. I had it packed to 35 lbs. total last weekend and that was a little too much for it, pulled on the shoulders more. When I keep the total weight under 30 it's like having just a daypack on, hardly noticeable. The shoulder straps are not adjustable at the top, they are narrow and so is the hip belt, but after wearing it on two weekend trips I think that the narrowness is more comfortable than my old bulky, heavily padded straps and hip belt. Love the little zipped pockets on the hipbelt and am actually quite happy with just one main compartment and one outside pocket. No more looking through every pocket to find some small object. I intend to use this pack on a one week long (60 mile) trip this summer. I'm really trying to keep my packweight down for more comfort while hiking and this pack is helping me do that.”
