[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 950792, member: 54178"] Not a bad pack BUT at 6 lbs. 8 oz. certainly not a good pack. C'mon, there are very durable packs out there by Granite Gear, Zimmerbuilt and others that are [B]half[/B] the weight of the M5. Eberlestock packs, ALL of them, need to go on a serious diet. Great design and quality but way too heavy. Reduce fabric weight, webbing weight (width) which will reduce buckle/fittings weight. Take another look at frame and framesheet weight. Generally framesheets are as useless as tits on a boar. They can't transfer load weight to your hips and a properly designed frame (internal or external or hybrid) can keep a pack's shape. Yes, a sheet to protect your back from a rifle in the Eberlestock scabbard is OK but keep it only scabbard wide and only on the back side. [/QUOTE]
