[pct-l] Thru hike pack suggestions?

[Jeffrey Haas]

If you're committing to a go lite pack, you also need to reduce the weight of the contents in the pack.  If you are planning on using a go lite with 30 to 35 lbs of gear including water, you may be in trouble because the suspension isn't designed for that weight.

Using a go lite pack from my experience represents a total commitment to reducing the weight of everything you're carrying.  If you're not going to do that I would not suggest you carry a go lite.
