[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2331245, member: 113623"] I will put in one for Kuiu to sway you that direction. I have used mine a bunch of times and most recently did a 115 mile section hike of the JMT with it. Not one blister, abrasion, or even red mark. Went with my mother who had a ultralight Gossamer Gear pack that left 6 inch blisters on both hips and discoloration over her shoulder. Met another guy with one on the trail who had broken his collar bone and could only run a Kuiu because it kept the pressure off his shoulder. Plenty of other great packs out there, but the Kuiu is definitely a nice and lightweight option that takes more after backpacking and mountaineering gear as opposed to Eberlestock and Kifaru which seem more military inspired with heavy Cordura and MOLLE webbing. Check out Stone Glacier as well. [/QUOTE]
