	Lightweight Adventure Backpack by Rodney Liwanag

I used a Kologn diet/baby scale with a 16 oz (with 1/2 oz gradations) maximum weight capacity to get the weight of each component/assembly.

Component/Assembly	Weight
Backpanel/bottom assembly - includes the padded shoulder straps and internal water bladder pocket	8.25 oz
1 1/4" wide hipbelt webbing assembly	1.65 oz
Front panel assembly	0.90 oz
Side panel (L&R) assembly	0.70 oz
Lace compression system (3mm cord)	0.25 oz
Top pocket/Lid	1.40 oz
3/4" wide sternum strap assembly	0.60 oz
100 oz Camelbak water bladder (for comparison)	4.50 oz

Total pack weight excluding backpad/frame and bladder	13.75 oz

Yup, it's less than a pound folks (1 lb = 16 oz).
