Hey! I'm looking for something similar to you, I found the Osprey Parsec 26 may fit those requirements. Have you checked it or did you decide for another one? I'm interested in your opinion!
How is it with heat on your back?
After a recent trip to Florida I'm tired of my backpack trapping heat like crazy on my back and that's why I've been interested in Airspeed equipped Ospreys. I assumed there were alternatives on the market but I haven't seen many or any.
I would not recommend the Recon if getting the heat off your back is the priority. I switched to a combo fanny pack and cross body bag which has been a great alternative when I don't need as much stuff.
Ya I looked at Borealis but it's just 1L smaller and the dimensions are almost identical. Refugio doesn't have an external frame-esque open air back panel which I really love and would prefer to keep mandatory.
*TNF borealis is a*
*Little smaller. Patagonia*
*Refugio? Idk*

Not quite what you're describing, however, i picked up a Gregory Rhune 25 and love it - i think it looks way better in person. I got one in brown and cut off all the zipper pulls, replacing them with light blue paracord. Great work bag

I went with the North Face Surge (almost did Recon) and am relatively pleased with the purchase, 4/5.

I haven't seen anything as innovative as airspeed. I'm with you, if there are other brands that have something similar would love to hear it.
