Just a warning to anyone who is tempted to use this pack, the Highlander Summit 40:

On the face of it it seems the perfect Camino pack, lightweight (750 grams), sensible features and price, and best of all the sort of back system that holds the pack away from your back and reduces sweating. The only review In could find seemed reasonable.
So we ordered one at our local outdoor store, since we'd like a pack like this for the Francigena next year. We discovered after weighing it on accurate digital scales that it actually weighs 1430 grams, almost twice the stated weight, making it a relatively heavy pack and not a contender for anyone who cares about the weight they carry. We returned the pack to the store.
So be warned, don't take the stated weight of outdoor kit for gospel!
