I'm assuming there is more to come?

Awesome. Without this video I would have NEVER guessed how the shoulder straps and hipbelt can move but the pack doesn't. Great video. Can't wait to see it on you! First rate clip!

Thanks much for taking the time to make this video. Appreciate it guys.

There is not more to come after all. The second file must be corrupted because I was not able even to copy it to my hard drive.
It was a delightfully innovative dance improvisation, an interpretation of Bach's Symphony for Violin and Obeo, with an explosive but emotional rendition of Air on the G string which all in all demonstrated the full potential of Aarn's new BodyPack design.
After his exhilarating performance, though, I am going to have to reseed my back yard. There are puncture marks and deep gashes in the turf made by his spinning and leaping over the expanse of the back yard while wearing those pointy little silk shoes.
It was worth it though to see this all performed while in a fully packed Aarn Peak Aspiration BodyPack and to actually record it electronically! Alas, a bitter sweet ending. The file is corrupt! #$%*^(%%.

How much does this pack weight empty.

The retail outlet states 1.94 kg = 4.27 lbs. less if you use just the backpack (no front pockets) or if you remove the pack liner
I have not verified
I did have my spring/fall setup (overnight) loaded. We weighed on Mule's bathroom scale...19 lbs (including pack and 2 qts of water)
That is what the full pack on the video weighs

That is to heavy for me. It looks interesting but I have a 4,000 cu pack that weighs almost 1 pound less then that.
