[pct-l] Thru Hiker Pack Idea

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

Omit ULA makes some very nice  backpacks.  I especially like the way their 
shoulder straps attach to the  lower part of the pack in the Circuit model (may 
be you do not notice those  things, but I do).  Go to:

Also, the pack makes good use of  netting pockets.  I like that too.  I know 
that there are super light  materials that are lighter than pack netting.  But 
I like netting for  visibility of gear. 
 
Too bad I cannot think of a  cool way to attach some water container to the 
waist belt.  May be the  Platypus water holsters (REI.com item number 626114) 
or item number 402189.  This would help keeps that mean  old water weight off 
your back and spine.
