This sounds like a Golite Gust. A fine backpack for the minimalist who
doesn't need a watering tube or easy access to water bottles in side
pockets. Perfect for those who don't like to compress their expensive
down bags - it's HUGE... and averages 19 oz, depending on whether it's a
small, medium or large.
