[at-l] Packs, April Backpacker

[Tom McGinnis]

Since Backbreaker magazine doesn't think it worthy to review *smart* gear, from say, 

http://www.gossamergear.com
http://www.backpackinglight.com
http://www.ula-equipment.com
http://www.antigravitygear.com
http://www.sixmoondesigns.com
http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com
http://www.moonbowgear.com
http://www.fanaticfringe.com

then there may not be much of a market here.... I mean, they have an "ultralight" pack that weighs, no lie, 5.5 POUNDS.......

Your Mileage May be heavy,
'toe
