Wanted: Lightweight 60-70L pack

[Dreadhead]

I'm after a new pack as I need to start shedding load weight, as I'm a small guy and carrying large heavy packs has just become ridiculous.

Ideally looking for something as lightweight as possible around the 60-70L mark.

Looking to trade in leatherwork. With christmas coming up, some custom leatherwork might be handy for gifts etc Pltny of examples of my work on the forum here, or see my site in my sig line below.

Cheers
Hamish

What are you considering light weight, I have a large canvas pack made by bilmo. I'm considering getting rid of it as I don't use it that much so can't justify the space it takes. That's the style but it's in a olive green with a pocket on one side to take my folding deluth saw.

I'm afraid that's going to be a lot heavier than what i am looking for. I also have a canvas pack i made myself, and a leather one i recently finished, so not in the market for that style. I'm more after the ultralight type gear cheers

I have a Exped but it's a bit smaller than you want at 55l I think. Not after leatherwork done for me I'm afraid.... It's a blue colour. Packing to move so can't find it just now. I'll search if you're interested.

Vintage Cobmaster backpack - late seventies/ early eighties? She's Fugly but funtional.
Not sure what the capacity is but at a rough guess it's in your ballpark, possibly on the high side of 70+L
Got as a fixer upper and ended up using as is. Rides like a BA bergan but more comfy and weighs about 1400grams [50oz] (got to doublecheck that figure my notes don't say if that's with the internal frame or not)



It's done a lot of miles however...
the waterproof membrane is peeling away badly inside,
internal aluminium frame long gone and replaced with 20mm plastic pipe
was Navy & Sky Blue originally - previous owner gave it spray of green
early example of snap lock buckle on hip belt requires fingers of iron
