[at-l] Suggestions on Pack

[karinclaus@yahoo.com (Karin Claus)]

Any pack suggestions ??

I just sent my CampTrails Catskill backpack back to
the manufacturer, to see if they will fix a
manufacturers defect.  The pack is 5200 cu in, and
weighs 5 pounds.

In the mean time, I borrowed my husbands old Jansport
pack.  I don't like the way this fits.  Its too big,
and it seems to try to "pull me over backwards".

I'm 5ft 5. 125 pounds.
I've got 30 pounds of gear/water/food (excluding pack
weight)

I tried out the GoLite packs. (The Earth) model. The
smallest they had was a medium, and it didn't fit
well.
The carrying capacity was just right.
I also think I want a pack with a little more support.
What do people think about these packs?


So, in case I don't get my pack back in time...

What packs would everyone suggest?

I'd rather not got over the 5 pounds of my current
pack.

I'm especially interested in input from other females.
I was also considering the Kelty Haiku..

Thanks,

Karin
