I recently picked up this pack and its great. I was just curious on why I don't see this pack come up more often. Anyone want to shed some light on to why people don't use this pack?

Daypacks are not that interesting so they don't come up too often in the first place. A lot of folks just use their old school bags for daypacks. This ULT30 thing costs a hundred bucks and that is a lot to spend on something that has few advantages over my school bag.

I mean even in the Ultralight/ lightweight backpacking crowd there is a lot of mention about gossamer gear, golite, and other vendors. I just feel like this is a serious contender.

I just got a Summit Rocket 40 on sale and like it a lot. There are no outside pockets though so I guess I will have to find a way to put my water bottle on the belt or use my platy with the hose. It is very well made and should be comfortable in the +25lb range. Highly water resistant with a roll top closure. It is under 2lbs but adding a small belt pack or chalk bag will bring it close to 2lbs. Its way cooler than my book bag.
