[QUOTE="jimss, post: 2305022, member: 66919"] I have 2 lighter weight Sitka packs. In most situations I grab my Kifaru because even with light loads it is a lot more comfortable strapped to my back all day long....especially after a week of scouting or hunting. Most daypacks are only designed for max loads of 20 to 40 lbs. I've found that empty pack weight to some extent is meaningless. I hardly know I have my pack on my back with my Kifaru with a 15 to 20 lb load. Over several days with my lighter weight Sitka daypacks my neck, shoulders, and back would be sore with the same 20 lb load. I'm pretty sure even the highest quality daypacks would have this same problem since they aren't really designed with a rigid frame, shoulder harness, and padded belt. I actually had packs narrowed down to Kifaru and Stone Glacier several years ago. The Stone Glacier was a tag lighter weight but I chose Kifaru because it came in camo and had so many great accessories and bag options. [/QUOTE]
