I can't believe no one's mentioned a Shralok Pack. :)
my monk has one of these, it's great. 8 slots, 0.4 weight, plus it reduces
the weigh of things inside it by 25%. it's also reasonably easy to get.
Drops from Recfek Shralok in Highpass. He has it every time he spawns
(named orcs are random, but there are 3 of them, each dropping a different
thing.).

I am usually at around 12 or 13 weight, depending on how much plat I choose
to carry on me. Personally, I think that large bags are not the way to go.
If you are really careful, you should buy two spits (6 slots, weight 0.2).
I carry two spits and a sewing kit (8 slot, wt 0.4)...total bag weight is
0.8 which is still less than one large bag. I generally never loot because
I am usually always grouped with members of my guild who do a master loot.
The only problem with spits and sewing kits is the evil combine buttion. If
you can find enough will power to stay away from it there shouldn't be a
problem. I have destroyed stuff in the past, but it is usually just
muffins, milk, bandages, or shurikens.
