[cdt-l] [pct-l] specs?-2

[doug-sue1]

Re the shirt weight- probably like basic tent weight- buttons and collar are excluded since wearers may choice to use smaller or larger (heavier) buttons.  

Really bothers me to go into a BP store and find NO scale to weigh an item- and get strange looks as if no one has ever asked about weight before!  Can it really be a gear store if it has no scale?

      Sorry, I did forget to mention the product. It's an aluminum-framed front pack, designed to be used with a backpack, and called the SyncPack: http://thesyncpack.com/index.htm. I freely admit that I get irritated when anyone tries to promote to the backpacking world, and leaves out basics like weight, or lies about basics like weight. SyncPack isn't lying, but others have.
      I just learned for instance that the Oasis shirt from Railriders is listed as 5 oz in their catalogs, going back at least two years; my small weighs 7.5 oz. Is that a lie of carelessness, or of comission; I don't know, and never will know, but next time I'll buy someone else's shirt. I bought theirs because it was supposedly lighter than anyone else's, and had the same features. Since I just discovered this, and in fairness to them, I'm sending this email to them also. I may be blunt, but try to be very open about it.
