Can't help but feel we're starting to get a bit saturated with all these UL packs, there starting to look all the same to me.

One of the few write ups I've seen re the Superior Wilderness Designs packs - http://www.mittencamper.com/gear/2016/8/29/superior-wilderness-designs-superior-50-pack

Doesn't say very much about the pack. But the pictures gives you a better look at the packs. Emailed them to see if its available in hybrid cuben. I think the Hyper Ripstop looks a bit flimsy.

Yea i think they've taken a good design and changed it to something i dont like. I will be asking for the old model

I assumed these were additions not replacements, they look to do quite a lot of custom work so hopefully you'll still be able to get the old design

Pure unadulterated pack porn... *drool*.

I wish they would ditch robic. Looks like shiny cheap suit material. Was a time when i wouldnt look at another pack manufacturer but then GG 'improved the design' and killed it

And the twisty webbing. Can't be significantly lighter than the coarser black stuff they used before.
I have a Pilgrim. And while I really love the design - just great for my needs, the robic fabric is a bit weird- goes translucent when wet.

yup. lost the plot completely. They will probably realise just after they go pop
I thought the Mariposa looked okay, not as strappy and lumpy as the primate range, not keen on the Robic though, I much prefer their older ripstop and dyneema packs
I'd prefer a roll down top on that Mariposa, but GG lost the plot on their closures a long time ago, my 2012 Gorilla was terrible

£240 - £260! Might as well go true ultra light and buy a Pa'lante (provided the actually make any more 
).
Got this reply to a tweet from Osprey: "Hi Andrea, if you are into super-ultralight gear, it may be the new pack for you. We'll have more details as it comes to market next Spring!"
Editted to add: the 45 is 190g less than an Exos 48 and almost twice the price. I am interested in the Levity but...
