[pct-l] ULA Ohm

I'm torn between two packs: ULA Ohm or Circuit.  I called up ULA ready to
order the Ohm but the guy *strongly* suggested I go with the Circuit so now
I am in reconsider mode, seeking input from others.  Has anyone thru-hiked
with an Ohm or seen many on the PCT?  I really like the compression options
and I love the weight.  I am particularly concerned about the BV500
fitting.  I know it will fit, but will anything else?  My base weight
is ~9lb.  Thanks, Ryan

I recommend the Circuit for a thru hike; I've been using mine for several 
long sections since 2008. I have an Ohm, and have found it to be a great 
weekend pack, but I wouldn't be able to use it for long sections or 
thruhiking.  I however did see a thruhiking couple using a pair of Ohms on 
the PCT last year in norhtern Oregon, and I'm amazed they could do it with 
an Ohm. Stuffing a week's worth of food into it, I couldn't do it. There are 
a few that could thruhike with an Ohm; however, many hikers have found the 
Circuit a great design for the PCT.

I wish ULA would bring back the cinch top for the Circuit and the Catalyst! 
I don't like the clumsy roll top with two side locks..
