Just read the Review to get the weight.

Mountain Equipment quote the all-in weight of the Tupilak 37+ at 780g, and though I make it 827g that still isn't a lot for a pack of this size and sturdiness. In comparison, the Arc'teryx Alpha FL30 is quoted at 575g (bear in mind this is a smaller and simpler pack). Removing the side straps and hip pads (but keeping the back panel in) I can reduce my Tupilak 37+ to 737g. I'm not sure how you'd get down to ME's quoted minimum weight of only 570g.

Whilst I don't want to give the game away, it's worth mentioning that the review was written six years ago, and updates within those intervening might have made a difference...hint, hint...

Yes, that's my point.

Funny phrase, Just read.

I just read. Red

You just read. Reed

English is a funny language.

I just think manufacturers often talk a load of drivel about gear weights.

"Don't tell 'em Pike"! (with apologies to Perry and Croft).

Finding the correct weight answer was definitely not my usual flash on these UKC comps. 

Sent after practice, and cross-referencing sources - relatively nails for a gear comp! Good day surfing the web.

No more difficult or "remote" than many other gear comps. 5 simple clicks (not counting cookies and location interruptions).
