<DIV> 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: <A
href="http://thesyncpack.com/index.htm">http://thesyncpack.com/index.htm</A>.
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.</DIV>
<DIV> 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 <EM>small</EM> 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. </DIV>
