[pct-l] Wait, what is the 411 on REI Flash?

[Tortoise]

Really hard for me to compare my ULA Catalyst with the REI Flash from just 
the info on REI website. Just from what I can get from the website, with 
the Flash the waist belt is permanently fastened to the pack so one cannot 
get a pack based on one's torso and a waist belt based on one's girth which 
I needed and is more adaptable to the individual. But the ULA flexibility 
also incurs a weight penalty.

Maybe when I'm going by an REI store I'll stop in and take a look.

There is way too much space for me, but I'm sure that's not a huge problem. I wanted the lifetime warranty, so the Flash is what I'm sticking to for now.

> Hi guys,Was reading an old post on backpacks and I came across someone talking about REI Flash. Hadn't heard about that one. I've been debating over new packs for a while, looking between ULA and such but then this REI Flash pops up and its cheap and I can maybe swap it for my present REI backpack.... just interested in thoughts.Ashley
