Took the new Minimalist 19 day pack out for a shake down to Oregon's Jefferson Park. Carried really great (I added the hip belt w/ pouches), I loaded it to 18 pounds for the day. Hardly even noticed it until it was time for lunch, or hip pouch snacks! I even tucked away a change of clothes from cold damp AM hiking through clouds, to warm sunny South facing slopes! It's def my lil trail buddy now! Thanks Gossamer team!
