More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I like mine a lot - but be careful not to overload it for a Camino. I use a 60L for wilderness hikes - I use a much smaller pack for the Camino. After 2 Caminos with 30L pack - I will use a 24L pack for my next Camino (now that my gear list has been refined)
 
While 99$ might be a bargain and the pack itself might be good (honestly, i have no idea)... 60L and 2,5lbs are far from being ultralight in regards of Camino...
But if someone is looking for a "one-for-all" pack for the camino and afterwards the world tour... well, who knows.
 
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
That is not ultra-light; it’s not even light, and it’s way over size for a Camino. Otherwise it reads like a nice pack for an unsupported multi-day hike
 
It’s a very good pack. I have used mine a lot. I wouldn’t take it on my Camino though because I hate a lot of extra room in my pack. Just doesn’t feel right

Depends on what you comparing it too. Compared the the heavier 5-6lb 60L packs designed for backcountry hiking (before the current ultralight packs became more the norm) - it is certainly lightweight. For the Camino - you can certainly go lighter.
