From Backcountry.com:
"Kelty's lightweight Soar Backpack gives you a low-on-weight, high-on-comfort pack for your weeklong hiking expeditions. Load the 5200cu inch Soar Backpack with your tent, sleeping bag, and other backcountry gear, and hit the trail. Kelty's sturdy frame sheet and aluminum stays stabilize the pack, and the breathable back panel and padded two-layer hip-belt work together to keep you comfortable as you log miles. Weighing in at a mere 4lbs, the nylon ripstop Soar Backpack remains durable throughout your adventures without adding extra pounds. Top and front panel loading makes it convenient to find your gear once you hit base camp."

Soar 5200
Reviewed by Geosgunkie, Aug 15, 2007

"Yeah, it's an ugly color, but that's the only thing to dislike about this pack. It's giganticous, but only four pounds, a little less if you do some trimming. Plenty of extra room to carry your expensive down bag a little less compressed, room for extra water bottles during drought conditions, winter hike, no problem, pile in the extra large sleeping bag and extra clothes,etc."
