I'm preparing for my first ultralight trip in the beginning of August. I currently have an REI Flash 65, but I'm thinking of getting an ultralight - what do you think?

The size and weight of your backpack might depend on the size of the bear canister that you will be carrying.

What's wrong with that pack? It's a good pack if it fits you.

I used to have that pack, and it fits a bear canister perfect.

When you planning on doing the loop, I'll be there august 5th.

I used a golite Jam (1st gen) with a bear bin an it was fine! In fact if you look at my avatar picture, that's me on Rae lakes loop!

My g/f used a Osprey Exos 58 and she was comfy.

REI flash 65 is a great pack.
