Ok, so I am working hard to move into the lightweight backpacking family. I have my weight down to 22.4 lbs including my Osprey Kestrel 48 backpack.

I know I could save weight a few ways. Lighter rainsuit, no reel fishing system, etc…I focus on pack for now since it is the most largely used item and the largest weight savings.

However, some of the lightweight models I have tried seem to fit me small. That being said.

Does anyone know of a lightweight pack that will fit a larger fella? I am 6'1 250 with broad shoulders.

I am looking at the Six Moons Star Light and a Go-lite Pinnacle.

Pros and Cons for a big guy, also I have 3 year old daughter and I will probably be adding her sleeping bag and pad plus a few other things to the pack for short trips in the next couple of weeks. So more space than I need for my normal base weight would be nice.

Also, looking at the Gossamer Gear Mariposa Plus.
