Just a feeler, honest. I'm a big guy, and get "large" frame sizes in all my packs, but I've never looked into the light / ultralight pack. I'm 6'4" so my clothes and gear are inherently larger than average. Any of you big guys got a service-able bigger pack lying around?
Thanks y'all.

i've got a big bear 5000 that i could sell to ya
I have a Kelty Durango.It's huge.5600-5900 cu. in.
If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable.
I don't have anything for sale, but as far as advice; Golite has great lightweight packs with plenty of room inside and sizes for large framed folks like you and I.
I have the Quest with the internal framesheet removed. Weighs 2.4 lbs empty and 4,392 cu in (a bit lighter and less cu in without the lid, which is how I carry mine).
Once again, not for sale, just for suggestion.
They have sales all the time. Just got done with i think a 60% off sale a few weeks ago.
I got mine during one of those sales 3 seasons ago for $55.
I currently have an Osprey Aether 85 that I've "trimmed all the fat" off of, and I really do love it. It weighs in empty at 5.1 lbs give or take a hair and including a shoulder pouch that I keep on there at all times. I'm just finding that as I embrace hammocking and alky stoves, I don't always fill it. When I have my kids, however, it's another story. My Osprey gets FULL.
How does one hear about that GoLite sale?

Good question. Most of the time, folks on here post it.Originally Posted by body942
You could also check Google shopping - that's what I did. Unfortunately, they are currently $122 no matter where you get them from.
