What I like about it is the wire frame that keeps the bulk of the pack off your back and creates an air gap between your back and the pack. Very nice in summer.
It has an air mesh against your back and the pack is held off your back by the light wire frame.
So the contact points are the waist belt and shoulder straps.

That does look nice - it is a feature I have liked on my HE contour pack, but hadn't seen many packs like that especially larger ones. Will put that on my list as an option! I also was looking at the Tatonka Stealth 35+10, or one of the many recommended cactus packs. I was looking at some of the macpac options - but not sure they would be durable enough.
