The lite has to be smaller with those small zipper compartments. It overall appears smaller

My preferences are opposite to yours. The larger vertical external pocket would be great for quick access to cold weather clothing - jacket, gloves, hat. An admin panel is a must for me. Since this is a 40L bag, I don't think a pound difference is a big deal. When the bag is full it will be a lot heavier than 3.5/4.5 lbs. The adjustability of the shoulder straps is an important feature for a customized fit.

Agreed. I don’t necessarily use an admin pocket for “admin” stuff but I miss it on my Osprey Fairview 40… The only thing I’m not too keen on with the Pro is the xpac-y crinkly material, I prefer the ballistic nylon of the Lite.

Thanks for watching! 😃

Having to use extra pouches and things will add more weight so not really saving much weight by getting rid of the admin pocket 😑 The lite seems smaller than the Pro as well. I don't like that the lite has a small front pocket either. I agree with someone else in the comments that it's a great place in the Pro to store quick grab items like hat, gloves, sweatshirt, etc. Lite front pocket is too small for that so it'll take up space in the main compartment and won't be quick access. Also an admin pocket is a must not only for tech gear but also other quick grab items like headphones, book/Kindle, nintendo switch, other large quick grab items. Maybe they are thinking travelers will use a secondary bag for these things? Idk. I'm grateful for this review. I'll stick to my slightly heavier Pro version. I was looking forward to the stowable straps but it's not necessary for me.
