if you're careful about what you take there are much much lighter backpacks you can buy at MEC that will get you down west coast trail.


And to put that in context, I've taken newbies down WCT with them carrying the MEC Alpinelite 45, and the Gregory Z55, both purchased at MEC. You don't need an "expedition" pack. you need the right gear and a pack big enough to carry the right gear.

But you won't know you can do that until you get the rest of your gear..
