Aimless is right: Lighter is better as long as the lighter item works for you!

For me, it's not a choice between comfort on the trail (the lighter the pack the easier it is to carry) and comfort in camp (which I will not do without, especially warm clothing and sleeping bag and a nice thick, cushy, warm sleeping pad). I want both!

I've gotten really light versions of all these, but a few were a bit spendy!
