They are reasonably priced, bomber materials and hit pretty much everything else on your wish list.

2.25 lbs in full mode, stripped down to 1.5 lbs (without waterproof liner, lid, or hipbelt).

I also tried on the Mammut Trion Light and loved how it feets and the amount of movement freedom it gives me . the thing is the store only has the 28L version and i dont know how i feel about it:
1. it looks pretty roomy inside but isn't 28L too small for an multy day trip? or maybe they designed the 28L to be an "ultralight summit push only bag" and im missing the point?
2. another thing being a very lightweight bag it's only 100 denier on the upper fabric (the bottom is solid 840D) , isnt it too delicate for mountain use?
3. I dont like the simple loops for ice tool atachments and i really think the clip atachments being much better , am i being silly ?

I also tried the 45L Mammut Guide and though it much bigger and bulkier altough better crampon attachments and more storage options. but i think the weight and fit or the light is just superb.

Opinions please.


P.S
Also tried the Deuter Guide 1900g no thanks...no thanks..
