It's not that it's super heavy, it's just somewhat heavier material than some other small packs, and pounds equals pain, so shaving some ounces on a packs construction can be a big deal if you're carrying it for 18 hours. :-)

Another possibility for a small light pack would be the Haley flat pack. Super small and light, and can easily carry BB's, mags, a jet boil, hydration bladder, etc.

I'll also say that JayGus is right, it depends on what you want to carry on field. Since you specified you're looking at Nightfall, I would think that a Rush 12 or 24 would be more than enough, as you have a safe area/spawn area to leave most of your food and stuff. So really all you would likely want to carry on you would be spare magazines, and maybe some snacks/meals and water. Personally I did the first 3 Nightfalls without a backpack at all. But if you ended up going to other events where you basically just have to carry everything you need with you into the field, it likely wouldn't be large enough.

Personally I'd recommend getting more than one bag.... Have a small pack (msm adapt pack, rush 12, flatpack, etc) for events where you don't need to carry much, and then have a larger 3-day style pack for events where you gotta lug all your shit with you. :-)
