My first foray into frameless backpacks (aside from a few overnights with my Fastpack 20), so I am fairly open to ideas.  I think I’ve got my base weight low enough to really appreciate a light frameless pack.

What I think I want;

Sternum Strap

Webbing waist strap (removable or stowable would be nice)

light weight (sub 14 oz?)

The usual pockets

Features like lycra shoulder strap pocket/s, bottom pocket are of interest.

A stretchy front pocket appeals more than a non stretch pocket, but this is not based on real world experience, so…

My torso length is 19 inches

having gone round and round for while, I would just buy a palante v2 if that were an option (pre-orders are sold out).  I’ve been looking at SWD, KS-Ultralight, LiteAF, Zimmer quickstep but am somewhat racked by indecision.  The Kumo seems a little too similar to a stripped down Gorilla (which I own), otherwise I might go Kumo.   The Burn is  of interest as well of course.

Got a pack for me?   pack buying advice?  I would consider something a little larger also, but I think 30 -35L would be my ideal next buy.

Thanks!
