Good bye Mystery Ranch daypack lid - 07/13/10
So after thinking and working on weighs to get my 9.5 pound MR pack down to 8 pounds by cutting/shortening some straps and what not I have decided that the daypack lid is WAY to heavy for the 900 cu in of space it provides and the compression straps that hook to the daypack lid from the pack and NICE frame can hook to eachother just fine w/o the daypack lid.
Now going to one of these:

Only 9 oz. A 1600 cu in day pack if I want and will work as a dry bag for my sleeping bag and clothes. So I eliminate 17 oz of the daypack lid as well as 7 oz of my dry compression sack I currently use in exchange for a 9 oz of a better daypack IMO and its waterproof.
