[pct-l] GoLite Pack

[Hiker97@aol.com]

I use the Dana Wetrib across the front of my pack for extra storage.  This 
does NOT transfer any weight to the hips, but I find the low weight of gear 
and supplies (under 30 pounds with a weeks load) makes the hip transfer 
unnecessary.  I am going to do a winter solstice overnight hike to the top of 
12,000 foot Mt. Charleston here in Las Vegas and will see how it does on this 
18 miles loop hike.  With a little imagination you can make the Breeze work 
for light weight backpacking and certainly ultra light backpacking.  The key 
is always to train with your gear to help the body and mind prepare for 
greater adventures.  Cheers, Switchback
