Sorry like I made an error at the end of my comment - I weighed the pack at the end of one trip and it was just under 50kgs (head & antlers, back legs, back steaks and gear for 2 nights including tent)
I won’t lie and say it was enjoyable but that was April 2021 and pack is still in mint condition.
As far as load lifters, if those are the straps from pack to shoulder straps that you can loosen or tighten then yes it has that.
It doesn’t have waist band pockets but I have added one so all sorted.
Another option is the OP Tussock which has a front pocket it on it but to be honest for a slight increase in capacity but 300gms of weight doesn’t seem really worth it
