I'm looking for a basic pack for LW backpacking. Here's my criteria, in order of priority:
50-60 Liters capacity
Wide & cushy hip belt & straps
3-4" of torso length adjustment, or available in 5-7 sizes
210 Denier body, with 420 bottom (ideally wrapping up the back a couple of inches)
Framesheet and "non-sweaty" 3-D mesh back panel
2-3 compression straps per side
Large stretch mesh back pocket
Medium duty framestays
Medium length roll-top closure (with or without removeable lid is fine)
2 Large hipbelt pockets
2 "useable" non-mesh water bottle pocketsI imagine a basic pack like this would weigh about 2.5 pounds.
Anyone seen anything like this anywhere ? Or heard of anything like this coming out soon ?

Osprey may have something that isn't 3+lbs and similar.
