20 lbs. is a pretty sweet ultralight backpacking weight. Lightweight costs real money. That pack may be worth more than your car.

I have schlepped a whole lot more when training for backpack trips, sometimes on city sidewalks. No doubt people thought I was insane, or homeless. But trust me, the mountain does not give a rat about fashion, and will school you if you are not ready.
