The biggest difference will be the M Werks has carbon fiber infused plastic throughout. This supposedly makes it stronger and lighter. You could certainly feel that it was noticeably stiffer trying to flex the heel prongs vs the standard kingpin. The standard option is still available more as a price point thing as far as I can tell.Quote:

I'm wondering if it's that different from the current version. Probably not.
What the short promo video says:
-more comfort
-made of Pebax Rnew (sustainable)
-Recco

Anyone heard a possible price yet for the FT Apres bootie yet? These North Face ones look pretty nice too, thanks for sharingQuote:

I can reply to any questions you want - about all three new systems
Alpride E1 - supercapacitors
Alprdie 2.0 - "old" 2 gas canister system
Jetforce PRO / Jetforce BT (in PIEPS case).
:)
Feel free to ask.

There is NO way to remove "system" from base of the backpack.
Alpride E1 is fully detachable from the backpack. Right now there are 4 models with alpride E1Quote:
