Maybe I have set the record for longest lurker! I have sent PMs, but never felt like I had that much to contribute? We did keep a journal on trailjournals, but I felt like I should chime in on my Circuit. I saw a lot of women on the AT with backpack problems - mostly carrying too much stuff! One car...

I love my ULA Circuit - I have hiked most of the AZT with it, and my husband and I just thru-hiked the AT, and we both used our Circuits the whole way. Mine is a Medium - I am 5' 8". Never had a sore spot the whole hike - usually carried between 18-23 lbs.
