[pct-l] affordable lightweight advice?

[Myla Fay]

Anyone have experience using osprey packs on through hikes? I have
an Osprey Aura 65. I got it as a gift and have found it comfortable for
shorter trips, but it weighs around 3 pounds so it's not exactly
lightweight.

I've looked at gossamer and ULA packs and they look great, but
unfortunately out of my budget. Does anyone have ideas for cheaper light
backpack options?

Thanks!
