I Bought this pack for my girlfriend (should she ever want to Hike I'll have it), and because even though I liked the aether series listed weight, I spoke to several folks who thought this to be a better women's pack depite the extra weight. Well, I'm a little disappointed. This site listed it at 6 lbs 12 oz, but on several other sites they give 6 lbs, 1 oz. This is misleading, because we're talking about a 4300 cu. inch pack for a small girl that almost weighs 7 lbs. I think it should weight 4. Well, I can always sell it on Ebay.

Hmmm, liars.. so what's new. This pack is too much dough if not on sale, look for a kelty deal at costco or campmor. I can't give a better rating than average until she uses, and then likes it.
