Help me find a new pack

ULA Circuit 3800 ci total, 2400 ci in the main body.

I am using the go-lite quest for this same job. 30-32 lbs for 9 day trips. It does the job but I think it might be heavy by about a lb. I hav also been looking at the ULA Circuit because it looks like it will do the same job for 1 lb less.

About the circuit. how well do Gatorade bottles fit in the side pocket? I need the wide mouth for a uv pen. Anybody ever run with one?

I know the 20oz Gator-Aid bottles will fit no problem, and I'm fairly sure that a 32oz bottle will fit as well.

I have a sz. med. MS Ghost in like-brand-new condition. It just didn't fit me quite right and I was going to keep it as a loaner, but if you would be interested, it is just hanging in it's closet. (though I certainly understand if you're in the mood for something different!).

Thanks Kimberly. But the second generation ghost, when they had multiple sizes, didn't work for me either.

Yeah, it's got to fit! Good luck finding a new one. I am using a ULA Conduit, now, and really love it.

Take a look at the MLD Exodus. 3200 cu in volume (3600 cu in with extension collar).

You asked earlier if a certain pack would hold 32oz Gatorade bottles. Instead of Gatorade bottles, try Powerade 32oz bottles. They're tall and skinny and fit in most side pockets.

Nia, I have the Circuit and only use the 32 oz. Gatoraid bottles in mine. There is PLENTY of room for them and you can cinch them in tighter if you want. Here is a photo of it. (Note: I've modified the Circuit by adding bungee to the front)
