Stuff sack pack

Have you checked out the summit sack? Not sure of the volume.

I bought the Zimmer. Don't know why, but I loaded it with 2L of water, my canister stove and pot, and some food for a 12 mile hike and it wasn't too bad.

Keep in mind that the bag is not waterproof, even if you ask him to tape it.

How much weight does it need to carry?

I use the Zimmerbuilt Summit Sack and love it. Mine is 1.2oz on my cheap digital scale. It serves as a stuff sack for my down sleeping bag and has done double duty as a day pack when base camping. I also use it to carry my water bottles and filter between camp and water source in the evening. Great multi-use item. I have loaded mine up with 2L of water, food for the day, wind shirt, toilet paper, sun screen, and water filter with room to spare.

OK – looked at the Zimmer Summit and that is a bit too minimalist for me (not a fan of using chord for shoulder straps).

I may just have to see if I can get an even smaller Zero from Z-packs…which is pretty ideal other than being too big. I will use it for a sleeping bag stuff sack in my pack, which then carries water, food, first-aid, map, a shell, and perhaps an warmth layer while day-hiking/summit bagging.

Other options out there?
