Hi all,
In discussions with friends, I have been trying to identify two different backpacks this past week, and I failed to find them via Google. I have terrible memory for names. I am wondering if anybody here could help.
First, I remember seeing something like a commercial external frame of sorts which you could slide into standard hiking packs so you could increase airflow. I remember reading about it about two or three years ago.
Second, and this one may be much harder, about ten years ago there was a relatively popular backpack that had lots of pockets. I think they were sold here in the US in some of the larger retailers like REI or Backcountry, although it was  small manufacturer. I seem to remember a very outdated website even for the times and a model, I believe their most popular, that possibly had the letter A and number 1 in the name. Possibly came in gaudy colors. I think it was marketed towards ultra runners. I think the total volume with all the pockets was something like 25-40 liters max.
Thank you all,
iago
