[pct-l] ULA Ohm

[Tom Weir]

Ryan,

 

I used the Ohm on an 800 mile hike and loved it.  This included a long
waterless stretch where I carried 24 pounds of water on top of my 10 pound
base weight.  It did surprisingly well when overloaded and was very
comfortable at less than 25 pounds.  Fitting a bear can might be difficult.
You could strap it on top empty.  I did this with a Vapor Trail on the PCT.
I also have a P2, which is an early version of the Catalyst, which I use on
winter trips.  It is great for heavier loads.  I can't say enough good about
ULA.

 

Tom

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
