>>2727959Pack weight doesn't make much difference unless you're a pussy or to stupid to get a solid frame.
I usually hike with just a 1L canteen and a water filter (and some stuff in my pant pockets that I won't bother listing). About 1.5kg total. Hiking with my Alice pack and 20-25kg of gear in it doesn't make me feel any different in the evening. During a hike, carrying a heavy pack actually feels a lot more comfy than a light pack, since a light pack bounces much more unless you tighten the straps all the way, which cuts of bloodflow.
>inb4 X magic pack doesn't bounce, doesn't cut of bloodflow and has negative weightGood for you, but I'm not gonna bother testing hundreds of packs to find one that's marginally better. Out of the dozen or so I've tried so far, the only ones that were comfy to carry and lasted more than a few hikes were heavy exoframes, so that's what I'm sticking with.
