Any updates on the backpack “smaller version”?

[glaser209]

I know the messenger bag release will be soon enough but has there been any recent news on when we might expect the release of the smaller version of the LTT backpack? I remember it being discussed in an older WAN show (I.e it has almost the same capacity as the water bottle holder moves to the outside) but I don’t remember any hinted release dates. Anyone else hear a rumor?

Caught up on the 12/29 WAN show and, by coincidence, Linus and Luke talked about this a bit on the show. In case anyone missed the show and is curious like I am, Linus called it a "lite" version of the backpack but did not give any indication of release timeline. He mentioned that it is slightly smaller than the current one but sounds like a bit less features (thus reducing bulk?). Fingers crossed it releases in 2024!
