The thing I like best about the 20 is that it rides high, off my lumbar. Does the 35 ride as high up as the 20? Or is it more of a traditional hiking pack fit that rides low on the back, resting on the sacrum? I have back issues that make it extremely uncomfortable sometimes to have a pack pressing against my sacrum unless it does it just right. Thank you!

So the price goes up depending on the color?

sophiYou could look at it that way, but they also increase in volume 😉

Would this be good for spring skiing? How waterproof is it?

I have the old 20L model, the harness make it very comfortable to wear, but when loaded for 3-4 days hike and the weight is closing in on 10 kg (or over 20 lbs for those who haven't adapted the measurements of the civilized world) I really wish I had a bigger bag and a hipbelt.
Seeing this massdrop it was a no-brainer to add a 45L to my connection of backpacks.

Is there some separation between the bag and body? The pictures remind a little of Deuter's aircomfort system.

Fastpacking + tenkara (well, nymphing with a seiryu rod to be more accurate). This is the previous generation 30L model. No, not the lightest stripped down UL pack, but it is good at it's intended niche - moving quickly and comfortably. If your backpacking includes some running and loads under 20 lb, it's worth a try. I find it very comfortable, and the pouches on the front are great for organization (i.e. water bottles, fly boxes/tippet, camera/phone, sunscreen, knife, headlight, TP - really, anything small that you might need quickly and don't want remove the pack). Aside from backpacking (3-4 day UL trips), this pack has worked great as a travel bag / carry-on, and fishing pack when a long approach hike is involved. Downside is your back will get sweaty.

I think the pack rides great, but your back will get a little sweaty. The perforated back panel fabric helps, but that's an issue with most any frameless pack. I got the old 30L to use as a multitasker that I could take out for a few days on the trail or cinch down for day use. I imagine the current smaller models (15 & 25 L) would make excellent fishing day packs when there's some hiking involved. Not the absolute lightest, but the easy-access organizational pockets on the front are outstanding for fishing.
