I just love my Haul, and I went out of a 4-pound pack as well. It took a few tries for me to get used to adjusting the arc, but now it's getting to be more second nature. I thought I would miss a brain, zippers, blah, blah, but I absolutely do not. Yay! I wasn't able to reach the water pockets comfortably, but investing in an Aqua-clip that I keep on my hip belt has worked out great for me and my tiny T Rex arms. My husband wanted the blue one, so I ended up with green and named it Kermit. Between our packs and Zpacks tent, we shed serious weight and it makes the journey so much more pleasant. Enjoy!
