I like my gearskin pack but the problem is that you have to have a minimum volume. At the end of lightweight trips the thing is barely staying together. I love the 20oz weight, but it's just sort of awkward.

The weight of mine has been anywhere from 14 to 20 pounds.

Dang, that is light. I assume that's a 2 night summer trip? I've been at 14 once, but it was a single overnighter and I ate before hitting the trail. We still pounded out about 25 miles tho'.

I was 24 to start 4 days on the AT in the Smokies last summer.

The 20 pounds was a overnight winter trip. 14 pounds was a 2 day fall trip.

Wow, that's great. Does that include food and water?

I've gotten into the bad habit of using all my heavy stuff that I bought for taking the kids out. If it's a basecamp I've been bringing the kitchen sink. 50#'s for an offtrail trip, even though it was only 1.5 miles still sucked.

I'm 5'10" 160 lbs and my GGVT Medium fits me just fine!

The pack will be here on Monday. The website said it was on backorder til late May. I got an email overnight saying it had shipped. I tracked it and it will be delivered to my office on Mon. I can't wait. I also got a new pocket knife while I was at it. I'm anxious to try it out.

John, you will just love this pack. BTW I am about your same height (I wished weight too, LOL) but I have never measured my torso length. I did go with the large, it just seemed to fit me better.
