A little history about WarmLite
Started by Jack Stephenson's (Backpacking Pioneer) In the 50's. The Cottage Company where they focused on making the Highest Quality  gear, not mass production. The family business is still in operation 80 years later making High End High Quality Mountaineering gear.  these packs were designed with naturist/naturalists in mind for hiking comfort.
Jacks friend and founder of Kelty Backpacks (Asher "Dick" Kelty) praised Jack's Packs weight bearing pack designs as greatly more comfortable to carry than Kelty's own packs ,while they were testing them loaded down with sand bags.
