    GoLite backpack

    This doesn't seem like that light of a pack at 3lb 10 ozs. I have the Osprey Aura weighing in at the same weight and I'm thinking of taking it back and getting a seriously lightweight pack. Some are as light as 10 ozs.... anyone tried any of those packs????

    Securing backpack for plane?

    I bought a rain cover from REI... and it's large enough to completely cover my entire pack with all the straps... then the cord can be drawn down so it is tight.... and even you can use them for a handle. I have the Osprey Aura 65 backpack.... it's bigger then the cheap airlines (Ryanair-...
