This is a small start-up 'cottage industry' company. They supplied one pack, almost custom made, as they were not yet into full production mode. They sought comment on this pack and also sought our assessment on a second frameless pack not listed here. The owner of the company was very willing to listen and act on preliminary feedback, which is always encouraging.

James,
I should have added that the Aarn Pockets do have built in stays that rest on the hipbelt and that is why you can transfer all of the weight to the hip belt.
This is me about 10 years ago striking an Aarnpack pose :

I have had 18kg (40lbs) inside that combo with around 5-6 kg in those pockets. (mostly water)
BTW :
I tried a prototype made from a couple thermorest bags about ten years ago
do you mean an Aarn made prototype or something you put together yourself ?
