From CampSaver.com:
"The epitome of ultra-lite simplicity, the GoLite Ion was designed for ultra-lite fast-packing, summit bids, and adventure travel.Constructed of super durable Dyneema gridstop fabric and a single watertight zipper at the opening, this top-loader features spacer mesh shoulder straps for comfort, an adjustable sternum strap and webbing hip belt, a hydration tube opening and a haul loop."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Traveling light and fast requires a pack that is lightweight, durable and as tough as you are; the GoLite Ion Backpack is just this pack. Waterproof zippers, space mesh shoulder straps and a 3 liter hydration compatible sleeve make the Ion ideal for day hiking, peak bagging, or the ultra-lite overnight adventure."

From Backcountry.com:
"Ultralight backpacks are a fabulous invention-except for the fragile fabric. You want something burlier for your summit bid, so GoLite created the Ion Backpack. This super lightweight backpack features ridiculously rugged Dyneema material, which is so light, it floats on water. Twice as strong as Kevlar and ten times as strong as steel at its weight, this material won't run like panty hose the first time you rub it against a rock or tree."

Unisex Ion

"I purchased this pack to substitute for a much heavier, much more complicated day pack and as a summit bag.

This pack is nearly perfect if you are looking for a comfortable, lightweight, and simple pack. It holds roughly 1,800 cubic inches in one pocket - no side pockets for small items - but it holds a lot of gear for a pack that looks so small."
