50L is quite a bit to not have a waist strap. After about 20 minutes with this on your shoulder you'll be extremely tired

captainaviThat's my reaction too. Unless the pack is filled with helium balloons, at 50L it's going to be heavy when filled.
The lack of data on its dimensions is a red flag too. A pack that size is usually too large to meet the typical airline requirement of 45 linear inches max -- unless it's short and wide and thick, and the pack appears to be on the long side.
The light weight and the waterproof pocket and wet-dry pocket are good features, but this appears to be a travel pack with limited usefulness, one that I wouldn't want to walk long distances with and one that might not be permitted as a carry-on if the gate agent is strict.

mkt42Boreas designed this to be a Duffle bag that can be used as a backpack when needed. Smarter to think about this as a Duffle bag for travel, IMO
Here's the blurb from their website: "The Erawan is the backpackers dream duffle. It's streamline body, tuckable shoulder straps, and extra handles make it easy to stow during travel whether by airplane, boat, or train and convenient to carry from hub to hotel. A large waterproof pocket and built-in wet/dry pocket ensure that whatever happens, you’ll be prepared. "
