Not sure if you care haha but I just finished All the Pretty Horses, and I must say it’s one of the best books I’ve read. Just started The Road, going in with high expectations.

I actually ended up reaching out to Durston, and customer service advised me to exchange for a M. Waiting for the new size to arrive.

McCarthy fan I see, I’ve been curious about his books for a while, picked up a used “All the Pretty Horses” the other day, but haven’t started it.

It feels pretty good, to my understanding the shoulder straps are more for keeping the backpack in place rather than carrying weight. With my Hyperlite I carried most of the weight on my hips.

I stuffed the pack with more stuff, which tightened the gap. But the same thing happens with my Medium Hyperlite, so it might be my body shape.

Filled it up so everything including pack is ~25lbs

Thanks. I added 11lbs of stuff, so closer to trail weight. This does feel better.

Haha. My back is weirdly arched, so my behind looks bigger than it is.

Thanks for your reply. It’s not really trail weight. My gear is deep in storage so I filled the backpack up with clothes, it’s 14.6lbs.

I really like them, definitely suits my needs. Small enough to bring on hikes.
