[pct-l] Pack vs Pack

[jeffmoorehead1 at cox.net (Jeff Moorehead)]

you might want to look at the Gregory Z pack, too. It weighs in at 3+ lbs (a 
bit heavy by many standards) but it has that Gregory comfort and durability 
factor going for it. You can lighten the load by 9 oz. by removing the back 
panel.
 You should also consider looking at the ultralight equipment manufactured 
by thru hikers, too. Check out Sixmoonsdesigns.com. I really like Ron Moak's 
equipment-- it is all very well made (next year I've decided to hike with 
the Starlight pack and Lunar Solo shelter after testing many different 
products). Also, for packs, look at the selection offered by Ultra Light 
Adventures (ULA), out of Utah. Same ultra light hiking concept and quality 
construction (I'd forward the web addresses but my browser is on the blink--  
Yahoo! it, you'll find the web sites....)
