I am still in the market for a lighter pack (2 lbs or under, preferably with some time of internal frame).
I was thinking of ordering a GG Mariposa Plus. I was wondering if a size small fits me well (it happens ot be on sale at GG). My Z55 in size small is just about right. I am 5'7" and have a rather short torso–I think it measures around 16.5-17".
Also, what are your thoughts on the new 2009 version with aluminum stays?
I use a BAIAC pad and thus won't have the dual padding setup where your pad doubles as your pack padding. Is this a concern?
