Just ordered my new Catalyst!
You're going to like it. Different than the run-of-the mill Osprey (not that they're bad), but very comfortable.
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
I have a Catalyst and love it. Very comfortable. Congratulations on your purchase!
Congratulations on your first ULA pack.
Echo the above.. you will likely never go back to a 'traditional' backpack.

I have used my Catalyst on a few hikes. Ever since I purchased it I have loved it. The only time I approached its comfort limit (and mine I might add) was after resupply on the John Muir Trail. I believe it was just under 40 lbs with bear can and food. It was a little rugged on the shoulders. That lasted a day until my load naturally got less as I ate food. You will love this pack. Great choice!
