[pct-l] Zpacks

[Deems]

Wow! You heard it here first!..The 9oz Ray Way thruhiker pack is now too 
heavy! The '70s thruhikers are rolling over in their Lazyboys... I have also 
been intrigued by ZPacks website since he is creating some truly cutting 
edge Cuben cloth gear. I saw BigTime carrying a ZPack going sobo in the 
Three Sisters last Aug.  He was happy enuf with the pack, but was carrying a 
full reload from Cascade Locks to Crater lake,  knew it was too much weight, 
and hiked along with a smile.  I have many photos from my 2010 Oregon hike 
pending to upload, but here's BigTime.

Anyone have any experience with ZPacks?  I'm seriously considering buying
one.  I currently use a Ray-Way (a DIY version of the GoLite Breeze).
For my uses, the Ray-Way is tad-bit too heavy (at 9 oz) and has a little
more capacity than I use (I think it has 3,700 cui).  I don't think I'll
need more than about 2,600 cui.

I'm eyeballing the ZPack "Zero" (Large cuben fiber version) with a center
pocket (total weight  3.05 ounces).
