I'm looking for a good lightweight pack to carry. Any recommendations?
I have a pack that's too small- a Kelty Redwing.
And a pack that's too big- a Lowe Alpine Scirocco (5000+ cu in. & weighs ab=
out ten pounds by itself!)
I'm not an ultralighter (yet), but trying hard to be a lightweighter. I fo=
und that, even after cutting a lot of gear weight, my pack is still heavier=
than I want it, because of... my pack. The problem is, I'm having a hard =
time justifying the extra money spent on a pack when I already have one, so=
I'm looking for a bargain.
I'm thinking about 4000 cu in is a good size, to leave some room for Sierra=
extras.
Also, I don't think I could use a G4 because I tend to throw my pack around=
a lot and beat it up in general.
Any recommendations on size, brands, prices, structure, etc very appreciate=
