Preliminary review: Not as light as advertised.

Pros

  • Ultralight weight

Cons

  • Heavier than advertised

This is a preliminary review. I'll update it once I've gotten to use it a bit.

In the meantime, I thought I'd comment on the weight issue first:  As someone who strives to save weight for backpacking, weight is a primary consideration when shopping for new backpacking gear. Berghaus states a claimed weight of 75g for a men's large on their website and on the product's tag. The men's large the I received weighs 95g without the stuff sack (5g). Irritating.

The men's large is true to size. I'm 5' 10" and 165 lbs.
