From Moosejaw:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Futura Zero Series introduces a lighter-weight option for those who are looking to shed a few pounds. The Zeros were born from the highly successful Futura design, but are light as a feather. The ideal user is someone with a handle on the backcountry and their gear who is looking to light and fast."

From REI:
"Deuter—a pack pioneer and innovator—demonstrates their usual great craftsmanship in this top-loading daypack, but in a lighter design! To cut weight, pack is made with light but strong and abrasion-resistant micro-rip/ripstop nylon and 210-denier and 420-denier nylons. Deuter's patented Aircomfort suspension allows warm air to escape and fresh air to circulate between pack and your back. Suspension consists of a spring steel frame that is flexible and light, and tensioned to support the suspended mesh for ventilation. Contoured, padded shoulder straps are lined with MeshTex fabric for breathability and feature stabilizer straps for ideal proper positioning of pack. Soft hip pads and hipbelt wrap body, stabilizing and controlling lateral movements of pack while on the go; hipbelt features a valuables pocket. Main compartment has plenty of room for a full day hike, on or off the trail. Front stash pocket and side mesh pockets store often-accessed gear such as water bottles, headlamp, first-aid kit, sunscreen, multi-tool and more. Top lid pocket can hold your map, compass or GPS, spare batteries and other small equipment items. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). Side compression straps let you cinch down loads for jostle-free carrying. Simple, lightweight twin tool loops let you quickly stash trekking poles and ice axes. Deuter recommends a carrying capacity of 30 pounds."

"The Futura Zero 40 has been working very well for me. I carry a good amount of gear for landscape photography and the weight adds up. 8 lbs tripod, ~8 lbs of camera gear, 4 lbs of water, food, first aid and rain gear and usually some fly fishing gear."
