Hi Jannik

I used the Exped Lightning 60 on the AT last year, but found that it struggled with the weight, despite carrying well under the recommended limit. The frame was noisy and the shoulder straps kept slipping.

I’m now using the Gossamer Gear G4-20 which so far is performing well. Will be using it on the Colorado Trail in August. I like the larger side pouch that can hold a tent and the fact it’s only 700g. There’s definitely a balance between weight and comfort. This might be the pack that delivers.
