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.
