If you hunt in 60*+ weather, or pack more than 10-15lbs of crap in or out of the woods, guido's web no go in my opinion.
The hybrid does have some advantages for climbing too. The thread I on my review is pretty comprehensive and addresses them ad nauseam.
Don't take this the wrong way, there's lots of good information in other people's posts. But there's also a lot of "when will they ship" crap. If you don't want to read through 40 pages - just skim and only ready my posts. You can get through it in 10-15 minutes, and get all the answers you need.
I agree with Ricky - if you're only hunting cool temps and don't pack out deer, whatever one I have would probably be what I use.

I have an large tall GW that has never been in the woods for sale in the classifieds. I'm 6'3 200, I wouldn't get standard height if you're over 6'. The large tall would be best fit for you.

Be nice to be able to delete the hog wash out. To bad you couldn’t be moderator of your threads. (I know the system don’t work that way)

As far as comparing the Guido's and JX 3... I did not use my guidos nearly as much as my JX 3. Why because:
1. The hybrid is easier to carry and feels lighter
2. The hybrid can pack more gear easier
3. The hybrid straps seem more user friendly
4. Buy once cry once - get the hybrid
5. If you are short of cash and get a super super deal on a guido’s web it is ok to buy but if not buy a hybrid you will be happier
Just my opinion... I would buy a hybrid over a Guido's every time. No comparison between the two and no hogwash...Right from a pig farmer. Pun intended.

I have both and would go JX3 over the Guidos. I agree with Ontariofarmer on all his points and will add one more. The rigid pack frame back adds SO much versatility and comfort that its almost not fair comparing the two together.
