>>765186I'd go for a midweight, 1-1.5kg 'UL' pack. I am the anon who mentioned the Exped Thunder pack as an upgrade to my current Golite Pinnacle.
Weight is a priority for me. Dyneema ripstop has proved functional and durable and I see absolutely no need for 500 or 1000d packs for hiking and camping.
The Exped Thunder looks good in terms of flexibility. Lots of attachment points, enough pockets, well thought out compression straps, etc.
