[pct-l] Pack Recommendations

Well since everyone's pushing this or that pack, I'll throw in a
recommendation for my own, the Moonlite (http://www.sixmoondesigns.com). I
just got back from driving to Seattle to pickup the first batch of
production packs. They'll start shipping out tomorrow. So if you're looking
for an ultralight pack and would still like a true suspension system, check
it out.

It is the first ultralight pack on the market with a true suspension system.
So it doesn't require lots of careful convoluted packing to get it to ride
right.

For me it's a bunch more comfortable than the Kelty Gale with I carried for
1600 miles on the PCT in 2000, carries more stuff and is less than half the
weight. It has a hip belt (unlike the Breeze) and a wide and padded one
(unlike the Gust) and its 1/8" spectra Gripstop fabric will insure it's
serviceable for more than one thru-hike. Or you can get the Vest harness and
have all your neat little toys available for instance access and you'll
never even need to stop.

Yeah, I know this is an advertisement but, I promise to only do them very
rarely. And if you attend the ADZPCTKO you might even win a free one.
