Hey y'all, I'm planning on starting my thru-hike during the beginning of March, and I'm currently planning on taking my Aether 70. The only thing is, this pack is heavy! About 5 lbs! I also have a Gossamer Gear Mariposa Plus, but I've found it to be pretty fragile. I've taken my Mariposa on 2 climbing trips, and both times the lining started ripping on the straps, and I even had a branch rip into the actual pack itself. So, what do y'all think? Durability and weight, or deal with delicacy and shave off about 4 lbs?
