Hyperlite Mountain Gear vs Mystery Ranch | Ultralight vs Traditional Hiking Pack Style

Chris weighs in on the age-old pack weight debate. Do you cut kilos with an ultralight Dyneema pack in the likes of Hyperlite Mountain Gear? Or do you stick with the 'comfort' end of the spectrum with a heavy-duty, bomb-proof pack from Mystery Ranch? These are the questions Chris has the answers to.
