This would give a guy options. I would like at least one externally too.A spotting scope taking up internal space is my biggest complaint of the 1800. Why not like the other packs? I really like the lid.
ETA; missed where you addressed the external side pocket. Still would much prefer at least the left side having external pleats.
I get that. Maybe one internal spotting scope and the other side be a flat pocket like the 1800 k3 to put smaller things. That would be helpful when 15s are in the top pocket.To all the guys asking for the side pockets to pleat externally. What your asking for is a bigger pack. Which they already have.
Same here, except I already have the 5000... And was trying to slow down spending lol. But once I can get a bag in this size it's going to make my MR popup get shoved even further back into the closet lolAgreed! I would buy this bag as is. It would be perfect to compliment the 5000 I am going to order. The 5000 for my western hunting and the smaller bag for whitetail and scouting.

If you went into production with that bag, I would order it the day it was available to order. Looks good to me, looks about perfect all around.The pack definitely still has a very low profile, I just have it filled up with an air bladder so it makes it look taller in the photos. Also Dioni is 100% right, the mannequins are small which exaggerates it looking taller than it is.
I could put a stretch pocket on there but it wouldn't be very functional as that front panel is pretty small. It's about 1.5" narrower than a 5000 panel.
I really like this pocket, even if you aren't packing binos it functions like a built in lid for quick access to items. Benefits of having a lid without the negative consequence of having a higher profile.
A very common request we get is for the guys who hunt out west and pack 15's in their pack is to have a place to put them. When designing this pocket I just made sure it was big enough to fit them in there.

Is there any water resistant material on any of the pouches? Just trying to imagine where I'd stuff wet/muddy layers without getting the contents of the main bag wet.

If it has the water bladder pocket like all other packs that would be a good place for wet layers I’d imagine. If not using it for a bladder.

That will be the main use for my bladder pocket on any of them since I much prefer the Nalgene holder, it fits quite a bit on my 3600… more than the stretch pocket, especially stuff like rain gear or a damp shelter… not sure how big the bladder pocket will be on the small bag, but bigger than a stretch pocket or waterproof side pocketGood call, hadn't thought of that.
