I am an  ounce weenie (obviously) and like my pack to weigh in at a pound.  I 
have  carried Gossamer Gear Mariposas and G-4's. Scout and Sandy Mann

(http://trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?id=168282)   got their pack weight pared down to 8 oz!  But I don't know what  
modifications they made.

I noticed at MountainLaurelDesigns.com that the ZIP pack is rated at 30+  
pounds and weighs 9.8 ounces.  I have not idea how the carry is with a  load, but 
it is interesting.
