I just sold my EE 20* convert that weighed 23 oz and bought a FF Tanager that is configured to be 19 oz. EE makes good stuff but their big weakness is the flimsy zipper that catches fabric almost every time you zip. On one of my past custom orders I ask, “since it is being custom made, can I get a different zipper?” Their reply was to sent me some condescending instructions on how to use a zipper.
That helped send me over to FF for the Tanager, plus and the fact that I have also had several FF bags in the past and thought they were the best bags I have ever owned.
