Lighter pack with good wrap belt help

I have been using the Seekoutside that has the most unobtrusive belt and frame system I have used. What I mean is that it actually spreads the weight of the load around your center of gravity instead of pushing down into the center of your lumbar area and pack pulling back. It is the load lifers in combination with the belt attaching to the frame on the outer hip areas and not in the center of the pack as most pack/belt assembly areas are.

Anyways – in my search to have a lighter pack I have not found one that caries similar and I'm having inflammation in my back from the weight being carried differently.

Anyways I'm looking for pack makers that have lighter packs and have a similar belt/ pack attachment system.

hey brian – i don't have the pack style you're looking for, but if you want to mix it up on your hikes you can borrow any of my cilogear packs (except for the one in multicam that was specially made for….). look at their park offerings and tell me which one you want to try. you can pick it up uptown or we can meeet somewhere inbetween. you can also swing by my place (south park) and pick one.

cheers – richard

I'll take a look at their packs. Ultimately if the suspension system agrivates my back (I have some bursitis issues that flair up) the lower weight savings is nulified :)

because of your training schedule, if you mix your packs up somewhat, you can continue your high millage while conditioning your back for the pack you really like. also, you are generally in great shape, maybe back specific exericise can help.
