oldranger member Registered: 02/23/07 Posts: 1735 Loc: California (southern)	I doubt very much that the weigth ratings have any value whatever. Occasionally I have to throw in items that are quite heavy, items that are not normal backpacker gear. All I have learned is that lighter packs are more comfortable than heavier packs.... how's that for an insight?
