[pct-l] Light Packs

[BrianBowlsby at ieice.com (Brian Bowlsby)]

I recently purchased an Aether 60 and am very pleased with it. I highly
recommend it!

I too am hiking the JMT in mid-august and will be thru-hiking the PCT in
2004 using it.  Initially, I too was looking at the P-2, but decided to go
with the Osprey instead, since it had all the features I wanted and was
available immediately! Maybe I'll see you on the trail in August?

The Osprey Aether 60 has been rated very highly and weighs in at 54 oz
compared to 52 oz for a P2 (with most of the common add-ons). Available thru
many retailers ($199 at REI).

Old subject, I know, but I had just decided to get a P-2 and wanted one in
time for a JMT hike in mid-August. No suck luck. There is a 12 week wait
time for them.

Any suggestions?

Peace,
Jim
