Actually, the pack I left the Virga for was a Deuter ACT Zero 60+10, also a touch over 3 pounds. I like the suspension a lot, and don't have to worry about weight (though my load rarely exceeds 25 pounds, and never 30, anymore. It has just the right number and style of pockets, adjusts to fit me perfectly (the Virga wasn't adjustable, but I was lucky that the fit was close enough to be OK), and has plenty of room for a bulky winter load. It fit my needs for a do-it-all pack - and that ended up being more important than the weight.

For what it's worth, the Virga is probably one of the more durable ultralight packs out there. I never had any problems with the materials or the stitching.
