My summer base weight (Northeastern US primarily) is 13.5 lbs which includes a heavy 5.5lb pack with a beefy suspension (Arcteryx Bora 65). I like my pack (thru hiked the AT with it in 2005 but the load was a lot heavier back then), but it’s one of the last things that I have that isn’t UL. If I buy an UL frameless pack, I could easily get my base weight down under 10, maybe even under 9 lbs. My question… am I really going to notice much difference with 4 less lbs in a frameless pack versus 4 more pounds in a pack with a beefy suspension?

Here is a link to my lighterpack for details on what I’m carrying.
