Looking for a little help on a decision here. I have brought my base weight down to 6.7 lbs, and it's time to purchase a new pack as I feel mine is overkill. I have been using the GG Vapour Trail and love it, but it is a brick on my gear list at 34oz. I'm stuck between going with a slightly lighter pack, such as a Jam2/Mariposa/Conduit or going all out for something like a MLD Zip. I've never had a "frameless" pack, but I'm sick of buying lighter and lighter gear over time. I don't want to buy one of the Padded/framed packs, only to realize I I'm going to buy a frameless at the end of the year.
So, some advice here would be great. I typically go hiking for a 2-5 nights, so lets say I'd be carrying 15 pounds with food and water. Any input would be great.
