I have not used that particular pack, but most of their backpacking packs
today are evolutions of their Gust, Breeze, or Trek. I have used the Trek
for years. The Trek has a very modest unpadded hip belt that I very very
rarely clip any longer. As I have lightened up my gear over time, it just
is not necessary any longer. The only reason I have not cut it off is
because I think when I have my desert water on board this spring I may want
it. Once I get past the desert though, I am likely to cut it off and save
five ounces. I have cut back some of the other straps on the pack and now
carry it without the "lid". So, its current modified state comes in at 1
pound 9 ounces. Their newer version packs would have been even lighter.
I am guessing the Intuition is some evolution of these packs too. All I can
say is that overall the people I know have been very happy with their
Golites. In addition, the customer service I have had from Golite has been
outstanding.
I hope that is helpful.

I'm looking to get into a pack that can carry 30 lbs but weighs less than
3lbs. I stumbled across this Golite Intuition that seems to fit the bill for
$120. It is 2.15lbs and 3100cc. I can't find find any gear test articles so
I am looking for anyone who can give me a "good" or "bad" recommendation.
Thank you ahead of time for your input.
Glen the Trainman
