Tell you what, an Eberlestock X2 in dry earth sounds pretty damn attractive. Wasn't even shopping for one and I may pull the trigger anyway.
A lot of great options here. I'm also trying to look into the TAD packs but can't find a damn place that sells them.
the kifaru scout is fantastic. and you can about double its capacity with a couple pockets/pods.
i just ordered some Gen 1 stuff for 50% off: 2 claymore pockets, 2 2qt pouches, and a small pod. should make the capacity somewhere just over 2000 cu in..

Check out Source. I was on track to pick up one when the US supplier fell thru. They are Israeli made, and offered some full featured smaller packs in the 1200 ci range.
TAD packs are great. They are not for sale at the moment, but this year's lineup should be hitting one of these Fridays. However, the FAST line is on hold this year, and they are releasing the CORE line of packs. They only posted one picture of a prototype, and then pulled it for fear of knockoffs hitting the market before they could perfect it.
It is not your typical PALS pack. The SDS Tac Bag is the closest thing I have seen to the set up they had on the prototype. I will not describe it any further, per their wishes.
Given the history of TAD packs, the prices will probably be a little lower than Kifaru, but they aren't custom made to fit you.
I would also like to add that there is a reason most smaller packs do not have the suspension of larger packs. Weight. All that padding adds pounds to the pack, and isn't going to make it any more comfortable to carry what weight you can pack in the smaller bag.
Dang it now you have me looking at the scout as well, such a good price. I may be sleeping out on the deck for a while...
