  They look perfect for that quick trip up Mt Whitney. Use as a sleeping bag stuff sack on your PCT hike. Leave your main pack and most of your gear in your tent at Guitar Lake; take this, water, wind clothes and a warm jacket up to Whitney and back. It would sure beat hauling your whole rig up to the Whitney/JMT junction and leaving it there for the marmots and tourists to potentially play with.

  REI Flash UL Pack
  17 liters = 1037 cubic inches
  9 ounces
  140D ripstop nylon; polyurethane coated
  $25

  ID Silcoat Backpack:
  25 liters = 1525 cubic inches
  4-1/2 ounces
  Silnylon + back & bottom reinforced with 200D pack cloth
  $55

  The ID  appears to be big enough to completely line most UL and SUL packs.

      If that's too heavy, this pack from Integral Designs is half the weight:
