From Backcountry.com:
"The GoLite Gust Backpack carries heavier loads than its little brother the Breeze. But the GoLite Gust does this without sacrificing any of its minimalist, ultralight qualities."

From RockCreek:
"The Gust family of packs carries heavier loads than the Breeze, without adding a lot of weight to the packs themselves. They do this by transferring some of the load efficiently from an anatomically contoured foam back panel to webbing hip belts. Hikers and climbers alike have been astonished at how comfortably this simple but carefully crafted system carries. Each of the Gust family of packs is top loading, has a top retention strap, and has an entire body made of Spectra Gridstop nylon. The pack bags are generously sized so that you can fit all of your gear inside the pack, even on lite winter trips. When your load is less bulky, you can trim the capacity by cinching the straps down. The lightest hip-belted pack we make for multi-day hiking, ski and winter trips, or vertical climbing."

"I just finished using this pack for an eleven day trip at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. My base weight was 17 pounds, but with crew gear, food and water, I was sometimes forced to carry slightly over the recommended 30 pounds. I LOVED this pack."

"This pack offers you spectra durability, high quality, a simple but practical design, volume, low weight, a good price and if you know how to pack it... comfort !

On the downside it's not waterproof at all and DON'T carry more than 13,5 kg."

"Once you go lighter, you will never want to go back. Heavy duty Spectra fabric is light and extremely durable. Absence of extra straps and pockets is alright with me. Only one compression strap means you need to carefully plan how you pack (don't you do that already?). Very easy to get used too, a very solid buy."

"I like the GoLite Gust. I hear good and bad things about GoLite. You must pack light with this pack. And this is the intention?! I hope to hike the PCT next year with the Golite Gust. It works for me."
