Hi Interested in a new pack? Maybe thinking of going lightweight or just curious about lightweight rucksacks? Well you might find the latest test completed by BackpackGearTest.org interesting. It was a six-month testing of the P2 pack by Ultralight Adventure Equipment (ULA). You can read the reports on the P2 and on the early testing of the P1 at http://www.backpackgeartest.org/ula-equipment/ Regards Andrew Priest http://aushiker.com - Aushiker: Hiking in Western Australia

Quite interesting. It's heavier than the GVP G4 but also appears to be
sturdier (not hard to do), and is probably a little more comfortable
too since you don't have the sleeping pad pushing your load outward
and moving the center of gravity back, and also since it's more
adjustable than the GVP (which basically is what it is, all you can
adjust is the shoulder belt length and belt length).
If the G4 works for you, though, the G4 is lighter and reasonably
comfortable (since you have the Z-Rest "frame" serving to pad your
back).
