Like.
Exactly why it’s impossible to tell people if they need sleeping bags vs liners, a heavy coat or a nylon shell, etc. The weather on the CF varies just like weather everywhere and it can be sunny and hit in one area and snowing elsewhere because... -

Charte57 reacted to Perambulating Griffin's post in the thread Ultra lightweight backpack--worth it? with Like.
FWIW... I have an ultralight pack and I don't think the brand is important (though it's a "leader" in the field). All the ultra-lights rely on the same design: absence of frame or much structure. In essence it's 4 sections of parachute material...
