Approx 1700ci Packs

I have a Zpacks Zero in black hybrid cuben that's 1700in. Side pockets and front mesh pocket. It's around 8.5 ounces I think. No complaints.

ULA CDT – it's a great pack, but the Ohm does everything a little better. Hip pockets, side pockets, etc are much better. So if you like you're Ohm be aware it doesn't share the same design details with the CDT.

Kevin,

Zimmerbuilt Quickstep is great. There is even one on Gear Trade now!

All well regarded packs, the choice comes down to what fabric and pocket arrangement you want, if you want a padded or plain webbing belt, and if the pack is available in your size (tall-torsoed folks will have fewer options).

I can't comment on all of those packs but FWIW I have a Burn and it's a very nice pack. I used to have a GoLite Ion, but was annoyed by it's lack of features. The Burn weighs very nearly the same but has side and front pockets, etc. It's sort of an Ion "but better." I think Ron has hit the right tradeoff between weight and durability. And MLD does have good quality control and a stellar customer service reputation.

Y'know, sometimes I feel like an MLD fanboy. I find myself pimping Ron quite often. I like his packs if you're looking for a frameless pack, I like his mids, and heck I even use a SuperLight bivy.
