- The main compartment is also accessible from the side through a long zipper, making pulling out those little trinkets quickly so much easier!

- Attachment points and securing strap for a rifle or other long items.

Materials
The fabric is the same 1000 Denier Cordura used to make Finnish military gear, some of the toughest stuff available! The construction and attention to detail is top-notch, a show of real professional workmanship!

Hyvät viillekkeet, ei paljoa pehmusteita mutta tuskin tuon kokoinen edes tarvii vaikka onhan joku tällaiseen saannut 16kg tavaraa kulkemaan ilman ongelmia. En löytänyt mitään suurempaa tai sellaista mistä pitäisi narista, on juuri sellainen kuin odotin, positiivisessä mielessä.
Päivitys: kaikki metalliset hihna lukot poistettu ja vaihdettu kunnollisiin pistolukkoihin, eivät toimi ja ovat painavia. Nämä olivat varmasti huonoin asia koko repussa.

Firstly, the buckle of the accessory strap on the back has been replaced with the same buckle that adjust the shoulder straps. Nothing wrong with the new buckle, it is very solid and to my guess most likely an upgrade to the old model (despite how cool the old buckle looks.)
Secondly, on the old model the straps for the hood/flap of the pack are sewn on the front-bottom, with 4 utility loops on the flat bottom for straps to attach a sleeping mat or the like.
On the new model that I received the hood/flap straps now run all the way back where it meets the hip belt. My guess is that it's a stronger point to sew the straps to. Also, the 4 utility loops have been replaced with 2 rows of PALS webbing which adds some extra options on attaching things to the bottom of the pack. The hood/flap straps run through the webbing, so you could tie some things down through those straps without needing extra utility straps.
Finally, the sternum strap buckle is green instead of black. No big deal, it's just a buckle.
All in all, it's still a very nice pack, but I would have liked to know these differences either through pictures or a notice in the description, as Varusteleka has done with other products in the past.
