Thread: Good, lightweight pack options

Well worth the purchase in my book based on this trip. Only down side is that the waist belt chaffed above both my hips. But that might be a breaking in issue.
My old pack is a Cactus and the Aether Plus beats it for comfort, fit and weight.

Appreciate that review @gilly as I’ve been wondering what it’s like
