I'm pretty excited about the new GG packs. I like the clean look of that fold over lid. What do you guys think of the Kumo for a 5-night trip? It would be cool to line up at the beginning of that trip with nothing but a sleek, small Kumo on my back.
The bigger items in my kit are WM Highlight and Montbell Alpine light. Shelter is GG Spintwinn, which I typically carry in the mesh pocket. So the real issue is whether food will fit. I'm thinking it will be close.
Also, I'd expect my first day weight to come in around 20-22lbs. I do like a wide hipbelt, though, and I'm a little uncertain about the strapping belt.
Most of my prior packs have been MYOG, but I've hiked alot in the ULA Circuit (overbuilt, in my opinion) and the original GG Whisper (underbuilt, in my opinion).
Thoughts?
