This pack was purchased in 2007 and has had light use over the years. I have lightened the pack by cutting the shoulder and waist belt straps to fit me ( I'm 5'10" tall and 170 lb with a 35" waist) and by removing the reservoir sleeve. The pack weighs about 19 oz. it has a few scuff marks and a neatly repaired hole but is in otherwise good shape. Surprisingly, a BV-500 will fit, snugly, horizontally in the bottom of the pack. $37 plus shipping. I prefer PayPal but will also be happy to take a Postal MO. Send me a pm if you are interested.
