here’s the bottom or back side of the bag. I think the newer versions don’t have the orange padding (it’s black). I kind of like the orange, you can’t really see it once you wear the bag.

As you can see there is plenty of padding in the lower back. Surpringly the straps are not that padded, there are a few hook points and straps to clip things like bottles or strap on accessries on the straps.

I think they have a new accessory that lifts the bag off your back to allow for more ventilation. I can see that as a benefit in the summer when it’s hot.
