<DIV>I use the Catalyst and think it's a great pack. The only problems
I've had are with one of the shoulder straps slipping and loosening as I
hike. I plan on adding some silnylon to it to give it some grip. I
like the size, and the internal frame, as it gives me a better ability to go 7
days or so without resupplying and can carry the occasional heavier load.
You could also check out some of ULA's other packs that are even lighter.
Brian is great to work with. Give him a call and he'll address any
concerns.</DIV>
