So I'm wanting to lighten my pack as much as I can this year and have been thinking the biggest single chunk of weight I could lose would be off the pack itself. But I'm not going to be getting "that" light, to where a frameless or otherwise "really" lightweight pack would be comfortable.
Anyway... I sold enough coyote calendars this week to pay for a new pack, so went ahead and just now ordered myself a new ULA Circuit. At 39 oz. it is cutting a solid 2.5 pounds off compared to my Osprey Aether 70. I expect to have my starting weight for a two night Uintas trip down to about about 28 lbs. From online reviews, it sounds like that should be within the comfort range of the Circuit. I'll be finding out for myself if summer ever gets here!
