Has anyone here tried the vest harness version of the Kumo? My older pre-vest kumo remains a favorite pack because of how well it rides on my back because of its wide/shallow cross section. I bet the vest version rides really well.

Not tried it. It looked interesting to me before I noticed the solution for water access. I like soft water flasks with a bit of tubing (held down by a small strap) which is not possible to use on the Fast Kumo without the tubes flapping. On the Raidlight 30litre pack this is not a problem and I can fit two 650ml soft flasks with tubing in the front pocket. Also the Raidlight is about half the weight of the Kumo. I only have three things I would change on the Raidlight, which is
-I would like it to be 5litres larger (though an external extra pack on the straps does help with 4 litres)
-iād like it to be waterproof
-it will not hold up to abuse – so a ultra fabric version would be interesting
other than than it checks all the boxes and it carries well when running.
