    I have the 60 L in the Liteskin. I needed a larger volume for upcoming longer trips I have planned. I used it last summer for about 6 trips. I like the pack- especially the fabric and the huge easily accessible side pockets. The magnetic closure on the top is nice too- it kind of closes lightly automatically when you walk away. It also stands up by itself. The ventilation is nice too.

    The only bummer is that I ordered a size medium, and I need a small. So after a while the pack was slipping down on me.

    Wanna buy a larger volume pack for a reduced price? I was going to post it soon.

    Great pack, I definitely recommend it.  Very light for its carrying capacity/weight.  I love the LiteSkin material, too.  Is there anything specific you want to know?

    I’d like to know how well it does with abrasion (sliding against granite, for example).    Does it lose its waterproofness?

    I’m really liking my Onni 65L in Liteskin. Be sure to bend the stay to fit your back as it can significantly impact comfort and carry – might take a few hikes to get it right.

    In my view, the Liteskin is a good pack fabric for hikers who primarily stick to trails but occasionally do some off trail hiking. If you plan on dragging your pack across granite, then I’d go with V40 pack fabric.

    It will eventually, I haven’t had mine long enough to wear it out and I don’t plan on babying it. One of the testers treated his roughly and found no wear https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultralight/comments/8dku2b/liteskin_katabatic_gear_packs_available/
