the seagate is lighter due to the composite material that is used instead of the aluminum body but very durable similar as the sealines. i also like that the cost are reasonably low. i am waiting till they come out sometime this month to get them. i believe they have the 35 model as well.
good luck on your search.

any new info on that seagate? i cant really find anything. my curiousity is tingling on how heavy they will be compared to the saltist.

from what i have been told it is very similar to the sealine, both are composite bodies not a aluminum body like the saltist.
