What Backpacking Weight Ranks do you acknowledge and what weight class goes along with each of them in your opinion?

Ive heard the terms HyperUltraLight, Ultralight, Light, …., …., and Heavy. I did "…." because I am guessing that there are levels in between Light and Heavy, I just dont know what their technical names are.

It is my impresssion that the following weight classes would go as follows (correct me if I am wrong even though I am sure this question can only be based off of opinion and not off of mere fact based out of a book):

HyperUltralight 5lbs or Under

Ultralight 5-12lbs

Light 12-20lbs

…. 20-30lbs

…. 30-40lbs

Heavy 40lbs and beyond.

Any thoughts or opinions?
