    Good deal lightweight pack.

    I can recommend these as being a damn good light weight pack. Can carry a good load and light as a feather. Are robust enough. I abused mine to near death but it put up a good fight.
    I gave it to another forum member to try, and to administer the last rites.

    Looks like a nice comfortable pack at a good price.

    Just on line. That price is USD. Still value though.

    I gave mine to the 2506 guy on here at Fairlie to try and to see its life out. He might chime in.

    Probably just as good to be truthful. They are comfy enough and don't mind a load. Southern Lite are more robust without that external mesh.

    I bought a Weka off you. Why you sold it amazes me. They are bullet proof. You get itchy feet with your gear? LOL.

    I sold you the new Weka I had put away cos I preferred the Gossamer and new that you really wanted a Weka. Note the use I got from the Gossamer.
