The Vapor Ki pack stows loads up to 30 pounds without a problem. Granite Gears Vapor suspension caters to women's frames and the compression system locks your gear down tight for a comfortable ride. Stash your energy bars and other small necessities in the Vapor Ki's two side stretch pockets and get yourself as far away from pavement as possible."

From CampSaver.com:
"FREE! Belt Pocket - Left With the purchase of Vapor Ki Womens Pack 3600 cu in.Free shipping!"

From REI:
"A truly ultra-light pack designed just for women! Weighing in at just over 2 lbs., it handles enough gear for trips from a few days to thru-hikes! Flexible HDPE plastic frame sheet with soft foam padding and padded ergonomic shoulder harness offers enough support for loads of 30 lbs. or less. Using plush dual-density foam, women-specific hipbelt is sculpted to fit the increased angle of women's hips. Uses a compound-pull hipbelt tightener so you pull straps forward rather than backward, a more natural motion that increases leverage to get belt snug. Top-loading pack omits a lid and uses a drawcord lock to close extension collar, and an adjustable buckle strap to compress and secure load. Durastretch side pockets are large enough for quart water bottles or fuel bottles and do not snag on brush. Two top stretch side pockets have water-resistant zippers, keeping smaller essentials close at hand and protected from the elements. Front straps let you lash on camp chair, sleeping pad or other bulky items. Dual ice axe loops for strapping on tools and trekking poles. Side compression straps double as extra lash points for tent poles, camp trowel or trekking poles. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). Pack body is a silicon-coated 70-denier ripstop nylon; backpanel and the arches are Rex Twill nylon/polyester blend."

"For me, this is the perfect women's backpack. At 2#2oz, yet with full suspension, it fits my needs.

I like the 4 exterior pockets, the 2 oz. lid option, and the hydration sleeves and port. At 3,600 cu. in. it can haul everything I need for a long distance trip."

"I recently took this pack on its first longer hike--approximately 75 miles from Atkins to Damascus, Va. , on the Appalachian Trail. Previous backpacks I have used included a Jansport, a Kelty, a Lowe Alpine and, most recently, an Osprey Ariel 75. I am sold on the Osprey for comfort and fit--but was intrigued with the idea of losing several pounds by switching to this lighter pack, weighing in at around 2 lbs empty."

"As an ultra-lightweight backpacker who prefers lumbar packs over traditional backpacks, I searched for a lightweight backpack that is light enough on its own to qualify for my inventory of light-light-light gear, to use on a group trip where they insisted on us using full packs (shudder!)."
