NEW LIGHTWEIGHT PACK-what do you think?

“Tell me what you guys/gals think of this pack. Opinions?

NEW PACK”

“How big, whats the capacity?”

“whoops 33500cu inches”

“3350”

“I'm assuming it's frameless?”

“They have the same concept as a Dana Designs where the system incorporates stuffsacks that are strapped into the backpack-like harness system...the bigger the stuffsack the bigger the backpack.”

“It doesn't have any kind of stuff sack system.

rosey- I would think that having a light enough load you would need a whole lot of support. But the padding does seem to be pretty impresive.”

“Ummmmmmm...I could be wrong.”

“I was just wondering if you thought it was a good pack for the money?”

“Well first of all, they both look like the same pack. And second of all, if you read the writeups under each pack you'll find that they ARE the same pack. Not much to them except a top-loading compartment and side stuff pockets...not sure where the large side pockets are though. But for 22oz and $105, sounds like it's be worth a try.”

“hmm!”

“They appear to be a nice pack especially for the price. I really dig the fabric, they look like the guys from DEVO designed em.”

“thanks everyone for the input”

“Looks like a cool pack. Your site seems to be coming together. Are you waiting to have your full array of products available before you go live (it seemed like a lot of stuff.)

Bikinis?”

“I assume one uses a cylindrical pad as a frame shape,so you can't easily remove it to sit on at breaks.I'd rather add 4-5 oz. for a small pad in a pocket that has easy access.But ,ofcourse,I sit as much as I walk sometimes.”

“Yeah, that site design is going away and It'll be all new. I've been buying a bunch of gear the past few weeks. They just sent me about 100 nalgenes and a bunch of nalgene products yesterday.

I'll have it up soon.”

“They seems pretty nice, but I love my G4 by GVP Gear. Check this out, 16oz. and a 4600cu in. capacity if you include the mesh pockets! 3700 if you don't.

I wouldn't hesitate to do the AT with this pack.......AND only $85!”

“Also checkout the new Moonlite pack from Six Moon Designs. It's got a really different setup.

“Very cool...for 15 bucks how could you go wrong..I have a GVP gear G4 that cost me 80 bucks..best $$$ ever spent”

“Here's the G4 ”

“Looks pretty cool to me except it looks there is no hood. I like a hood on a pack. But then I'm kinda "oldschool".”

“That G5 looks amazing for the die-hard ultra-light trail walkers.”

“No pics of the hipbelt on the Moonlite. The hipbelt on the Katahdin is the best I've seen on a Ultra-lite pack.”

“The G4 is great until you reload over 30lbs --then it sucks,but it isn't designed for that weight.Do not buy any of these packs until you have the mind set and the gear to keep the weight within the parameters.”

“Hey Brandon
Why you looking at light weight packs?
You gonna start drinking light beer?”

“I already drink lite beer”

“there goes my oxymoron detector again.”
