I'm torn between two packs: ULA Ohm or Circuit. I called up ULA ready to
order the Ohm but the guy *strongly* suggested I go with the Circuit so now
I am in reconsider mode, seeking input from others. Has anyone thru-hiked
with an Ohm or seen many on the PCT? I really like the compression options
and I love the weight. I am particularly concerned about the BV500
fitting. I know it will fit, but will anything else? My base weight
is ~9lb. Thanks, Ryan

I recommend the Circuit for a thru hike; I've been using mine for several
long sections since 2008. I have an Ohm, and have found it to be a great
weekend pack, but I wouldn't be able to use it for long sections or
thruhiking. I however did see a thruhiking couple using a pair of Ohms on
the PCT last year in norhtern Oregon, and I'm amazed they could do it with
an Ohm. Stuffing a week's worth of food into it, I couldn't do it. There are
a few that could thruhike with an Ohm; however, many hikers have found the
Circuit a great design for the PCT.
I wish ULA would bring back the cinch top for the Circuit and the Catalyst!
I don't like the clumsy roll top with two side locks..
