Lighter and can pack enough stuff for my 4-night tracking. Little harder height adjusting for me but fixed it.

5-day trip behind and the first impression is great. The details are clearly thought out. A functioning entity. One and a half kilograms lighter than the old ring, i.e. an easy way to lighten up.
I think the plastic chokers on the shoulder straps are too small. Time will tell how they last.

Very light but a roomy backpack. I liked my previous Granite Gear Crowns lacing system a bit better (it was simpler) but once you get the hang of it on Lightning, then it is OK.

Light, rather than the Fjällraven Kajka 85, it's comfortable to carry, but you can't take all the heavier things of a hiking group with you. With a weight of 15 kg, it's nice to carry and the Velcro straps on the straps are top notch. Some clips are quite toy-like, so far intact after three weeks of hiking.
Really comfortable bag, well thought out, light.
Used for the moment over 2 days in a winter bivouac with a lot of elevation, loaded at 15kg with snowshoes on your feet or attached to the bag using the straps.
Perfect for the summer because the back of the bag only comes into contact at the level of the shoulders and the pelvis, so there is no ventilation problem.
No pain unlike other bags I've had.
I didn't need to adjust it, it was already perfect for my size.
The waist strap is very comfortable and easily holds the weight of the bag without coming undone.
The back straps are sufficiently padded, comfortable as well.
The fabric seems sufficiently resistant and inspires confidence, to see over time.
So far, it's flawless from Exped for my use.
I will surely buy the 45l version and the external net sold separately and resell my other heavier bags.
