Just saw this review on Snarky Nomad for an interesting pack. It's not my cup of tea but somebody here may be interested.

It's an interesting design, but somewhat similar to Tom Bihn, Red Oxx and other luggage. For use as a Backpack, this new model doesn't seem to provide any torso range adjustment, which is a essential feature of any serious travel pack that I'd look at. There's little use in having a waist belt, if it ends up in the middle of one's abdomen.
