My new made to order Southern Lite 60 litre light weight pack.
Some insensitive bugger is bound to ask so I will save you the trouble. $605.00 (it a "travel bag" so I will get GST back and a tax credit :) )

looks a bit flash, you'll be too scared to get some blood on it. What's it weigh ?
About 825 grams. I modelled (copied?) it off this https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....-review-78915/Quote:

Don't need to justify owning quality kit!Quote:

Beauty pack, I've been keeping an eye on these. Look quality
The guy who makes them is colour blind and Im slightly, especially with greens and browns (one of my son's is quite colour blind - sees deer as black - they stick out for him like in night vision). Anyway the chap was sending me pics of cloth samples and I was getting my wife to help with the different shades, and then I had to explain to him where the colour was that I wanted in his sample pics. Its a wonder that I didn't end up with something garish but Im pleased with what I ended up with.Quote:

What's the frame in these? They look great, simple and light
They have a partial frame. The guy who makes them comments on it in the link (above).Quote:

The bit I am waiting to find out: how does it go for comfort (and durability) frequently carting out a decent size red, at least 10ks rough country, steep climbs and descents. My K2 is great at that, but losing 3 kg pack weight is going to give a bit more longevity to the bipedal bit that carts it about.Quote:

Yes. The length of my back and waist measurement.Quote:

I got the new one instead of another Gossamer because of the stronger material.
Still a bit of life in the Gossamer so it isn't finished yet.

Have you a photo of using it?Quote:
