    Default 6 moon designs Swift

    So, I just ordered the 2011 Swift! Very excited. I've had the Starlight for a few years and love it. The new Dryglide back, and lighter weight gear I've migrated to will make this a perfect pack for me. Can't wait to take it out for a few days, hopefully the end of the month if it ships/arrives in time.

    Just wanted to share a little excitement. My wife just stares at me when I talk new gear, so I try not to even talk about it around her.

    Is 6 moons an offshoot of ULA their packs are really similar, maybe it was partners that split companies.

    I have the ULA Circuit and it looks closely related.
    If you can’t fix it with duct tape or a beer; it ain’t worth fixing

    When it comes to ultralight, comfortable packs, there isn't much in design difference you can do. Both 6 moon designs and ULA are excellent packs!

    I believe they've always been separate companies with the same idea in mind.

    just did a quick comparison... the ULA circuit is a larger, more expensive pack. The ULA CDT is the more comparable pack to the Swift. Both look awesome for someone ready to go that light.

    I have and use the earlier version of the Swift. Good little pack.
