[pct-l] packs

[MWallace at Stutman.com (Wallace, Mark S.)]

Does anyone have an opinion on the Gregory Makalu Pro pack?  I'll be using this for a section hike and will being carrying (including the weight of the pack itself and including food and water) between 25 and 35 pounds.

I know this pack is a little on the heavy side.  I'd be interested in hearing whether it carries well (whether the extra weight is worth it, in other words) or any other comments people may have.  

Mark

The Auspex was brand new. Met a few people carrying the Ghost last year 
that were having the same problem.
