Any suggestions? 52 year old male, hiking western half of Colorado Trail this summer. Haven't backpacked since 9th grade, but hike frequently. 190 pounds, 5'10". Want to go light. Looking for well made, light pack, that won't break the bank. Live in Denver area. Thanks!!!
Having just purchased a ULA Ohm for the same type of hiking on the CT, it might interest you if the gear you have is lightweight and compact. For something a bit bigger check out the ULA Circuit.
The ULA Conduit is my go-to pack, but I wanted the Ohm for those longer stretches between re-supplies on the CT and other trails.
A GoLite Jam2 is a good option and you can find them on sale this time of year for around $80-$100 (2008 model).
I have to agree with John. Have a look at the ULA packs.
I have a ULA Conduit and it’s a great lightweight pack.

If you'd like to try the pack on first, you might have an easiest time finding packs by Golite and Granite Gear. But if you want a pack that's more durable than most other lightweights, I'd go with ULA.
