[at-l] G4 & G5 Packs

[detour74@yahoo.com (Chris Young)]

  My question is I've noticed on the website that the standard pack comes in only small and medium,and that a semicustom pack is reccommended for a large.I uasually use a large size for my pack,so should I order the semi custom? I've been looking at this pack for awhile,but I'm hesitant to buy a pack online,since I can't try it,before I buy it.I would like to hear from anyone that has used this pack,and what they think of it.

I see very little on the website about the G5.. any insight as to how
it differs from the G4?

G5 will be around 2500ci while the G4 is over 4000ci. Exact numbers won't
be known until Glen gets word back from manufacturer. I saw 2 proto type
G5's on Grand Teton hike last September & they held gear, food & water for
5 days. Picture a G4 shrunk to almost half it's size & that'll be a good
idea what a G5 will look like.
