A 75L backpack is not ultralight gear. Please provide gear in the range of capabilities that meets the ultralight community's needs.

westcoastNot sarcasm. An ultralight backpacker (UL) carries a base weight under 10 pounds so to spend near 3 pounds on your pack with a capacity of 75 liters would almost guarantee a base weight much higher than 10 lbs unless you leave your pack half full.

UnclePecosAs much as 3lbs is heavy for a backpack everything has it's place. You'll be hard pressed to find a backpack of this size or quality and this low a weight without spending out the ass for cuben. Even though ultralight is 10lbs in the dictionary its more a mindset for packing. Even for people who are truly ultralight this pack provides a great option to hose looking to do winter camping and other trips that require more storage than a 50-60L can handle.

sydney_waffaExactly , Winter exists and this idea that we must fit exact rules and not be flexible is dumb. Nobody would continue on a dangerous trail just because it is the trail and nobody should pick gear strictly based on weight or dimensions.
It might not fit the "dictionary" definition of Ultralight and Massdrop might be better off marketing this section as backpacking. However let's at least be open to the idea that some gear while not good for our needs might fit others needs and not just dismiss it.
This is an excellent pack for its price point especially for those needing to carry extra clothing, insulation & safety gear for winter or cold shoulder season backpacking.
