When I started cutting my pack weight I went with the GG mariposa plus with 2900 c.i. with a total of 4,200 c.i. The only time I fill the 800 c.i. extension collar is in the winter in Maine where I live . It is best pack I have owned and the best one for me at the time but now I find even when I'm out for a 3 season 7+ day hike I have too much room, which can only could mean one thing I'm carrying around extra weight :(. NOOOOO!
So I need some suggestions for a smaller pack for thru hiking and extended weekend trips. The new miniposa is on my mind it would be saving me ~ 3.1 oz.
1. shelter - GG spinsolo - 9.5 oz w/ lines, GC & stakes
2. pad - cut termarest - 7 oz
3. pack - GG mariposa plus - 19.4 oz w/ pack liner
4. bag - WM highlite - 16 oz
TOTAL = 51.9 oz 3.25lbs
