Bounty Hunter :
According to HH web site, they have two models which you could use : one (Explorer Deluxe A-sym) is designed for people up to 300 lbs and another ( Safari Deluxe A-sym) up to 350 lbs.

I'm under 5'8 and under 225lbs. A Cocoon model should fit me.

But your observation is correct : if I am to take my backpack "on board" ( to protect it from storm/rain...), I have to consider the total weight.
An Explorer model then seems more adequate.
And anyway, I HAVE TO loose at least 20 pounds..... more if I can...

So please, Chris, forbid forum members to speak about "Juran?on" wine, "foie gras" and "escargots ? la Bourguignone", at least for the next 365 days ..... pleeeeeease ...... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
