The ULA's look like a nice line of packs. I think they are worth a look.  I 
like a little more main bag volume than they are offering.
My light weight pack I've used for years now is 4lbs.  With a measured base 
weight of 14 lbs currently, I am considering a Gossamer which will 
imediately get me in the UL game at 11lbs.  Not joining until VVR so sorry I 
can't estimate a weight for KM.
