For this year I got myself two new lightweight packs. A Veschmeshok, without the pocket and other auxiliaries,
And a simple waist pack,
If the backpack is packed properly, it sits in my back, and is as comfortable as anything else I've used. The waist pack I use for carrying my waterproofs and shelter, and it is hardly noticeable. I've had two long day treks, and one night under the stars, and I am more than happy with the results. Both are about as basic and simple as you can get, no zips, and under £60 for the pair.
