[pct-l] new golite packs

[saskia.home@wanadoo.nl (Saskia)]

Hi,

I am thinking of finally buying a new light-weight pack. I am 
hesitating between the new golite packs that have come out (not yet 
on the Dutch and German sites, but they figure on US site), and 
buying over the internet.

This buying over the internet has me a little scared, because I won't 
be able to try the  packs on. Anyone has experience with that?

I am thinking of the ULA packs and the GVP (G4) packs as an 
alternative to the golite. Any ideas on this?

I know we've been through this several times, but I don't think we've 
discussed the new golite packs in comparison...

And another question: those of you who have used the golite Coal 
insulated parka, do you think it stands up well to 'abuse' as we 
subject it to while hiking? In short: is it sturdy?
