[at-l] Day Pack / Stuff Sack

[Mara Factor]

Mine has - I've been using it for everything from "unexpected" day hikes to 
weekenders, etc. since the summer of '03.  Still looks new.  It folds into 
its own outer pocket and then has a waist belt so you can wear it.  I know 
they have smaller, lighter ones but the straps are thinner and I don't think 
I would want to do a "real" day hike with them.  Could be painful.

My most recent use of the pack was to get from Boston to Georgia over 1.5 
weeks.  I threw away my clothes as I used them up (only brought old stuff 
with me) but the pack I sent home.

FWIW, this might be appropriate if you're looking for better utility and 
willing to go with a bit more weight but not a lot.  It's not going to be 
just 2 oz.

Best of luck - back on the trail (and off-line) today...
