I'd reiterate that the point of ultralight is actually comfort. To some minor degree, you're prioritizing "hiking comfort" over "camp comfort," but with a well-tuned kit, you're really not making any meaningful sacrifices in camp comfort, either. The problem is that people don't want to tune their k

I wish I had taken a comprehensive approach to buying gear instead of just buying one item at a time. Before buying even one gear item, I should have set my total budget and maximum total weight. I would have saved a lot of money and also some weight. I often see beginners making the same mistake. E

I can suggest the, Osprey Stratos 24 or 34 L, Deuter futura 25 or 32 L. I like the adjustability of the Osprey packs more then the non adjustable frames of the Deuter packs. But it makes them a bit more bulky. For backpacking I really love my Osprey atmos ag 65. While heavier then the exos models it

I have been using an Osprey Atmos 65 but it weighs nearly 5 lb. I just bought another Osprey, a 58 L one, that is their effort toward being much lighter. I think it weighs around 2-2.5 lb. It seems to have decent waist belt and shoulder strap padding even though it's in the 2 lb range at that size.

Wait I am uniquely qualified as I own both of these exact packs and they are both amazing. I started backpacking with the Osprey and I continue to use it for Grand Canyon backpacking because of the durability, breathability and water weight I have to carry. I don’t go as many days in the canyon so t

Durston is absolutely unparalleled in customer support. If you search any Reddit thread or anywhere for that matter you’ll see nothing but raving reviews for their customer service. I’ve seen instances where Durston will overnight ship replacement gear to thruhikers at their next resupply point afte

Wow so it comes in at .2 lbs lighter than the Osprey Atmos AG 65 (L/XL) - the pack I use and a pretty common one. The Osprey has 8l higher capacity, but that’s a lot closer in weight than I was expecting.

I use the Osprey Atmos AG 50 and I love it, super comfy, makes heavy loads not feel as heavy, loads of features like water bladder compartment, 2 side bottle holder that are accessible from the side and top, ice pick and pole attachments, stuff it pocket, 2 hip belt pockets and so much more. The bag

Yeah, out of all the packs I tried with 30 lbs, the Osprey Atmos ag “felt” the lightest. I think part of it was how well it transferred weight to my hips.
