Here's what other sites are saying:

From SunnySports:
"This is the pack for the person who lives and breathes ultralight. Titanium tool spoons, Sil nylon tarps you know who you are! You've spent a considerable sum getting your pack weight down to 20 pounds. Now the good news your ideal pack ishere! The nylon shell gains support and rigidity from your sleeping pad simply drop in a rolled pad and let it uncoil to push against the bag, and pack your gear inside the roll. The Virga has fixed (not interchangeable), nicely padded shoulder straps and a 1.5" webbing hip belt that adjusts to fit most hips."

From RockCreek:
"The Virga Backpack from Granite Gear is a frameless pack that is designed just for the backpacker who shaves off ounces from their toothbrush, sleeps under the stars in an emergency blanket and walks the trail with the most ultralight gear. The Virga has no suspension system, instead use your sleeping pad to create support and rigidity. To eliminate extra buckles, the Virga has fixed (not adjustable) shoulder straps and an unpadded 1.5" webbing hipbelt. With Granite Gear's uber lightweight packs, the lid was the first thing to go. Next came the zippers. What s left is a top loader with an extended spindrift collar that can be rolled down for waterproofness, and a unique cross strapping system for load security. Weight is further reduced by using lightweight fabrics in the pack body. Durability is accomplished by engineering the compression strap to tie into a heavier arch panel in front.

From Backcountry.com:
"Do you carry a titanium spoon? Sil nylon tarp? A sawed-off toothbrush? If you do, the Granite Gear Ultra Light Packer Virga matches your style. You've spent a good chunk of change to get your pack weight down to 20 pounds. Now the good news your ideal backpack won't bust your savings account. The Granite Gear nylon shell gains support and rigidity from your sleeping pad. Drop in a rolled pad and let it uncoil to push against the Virga, and pack your gear inside the roll. Padded shoulder straps and a 1.5in webbing hip-belt make backpacking more comfortable."
