<DIV>Good morning, All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have one of Joe's early models which weighs 3.4 oz. I really like
it, but I've not yet used it on a long hike .... only on short, local
sections. It seems as light as a puff of smoke with shoulder straps.
I might put it to work this summer in N. California.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any ultra-ultra-light pack requires extra care. I would be concerned
if someone wanted to step from a heavy, bullet-proof Gregory to one of these
.... whomever the maker may be.</DIV>
