I use a berghaus vulcan, 80L with side pouches removed for anything longer than 1 night. Under 3kg, internal frame, bombproof, they are pre-molle military packs used by a few armies in Europe. Rainforest here you need to be streamlined with everything inside the pack, not hanging off it, as vines etc hang you up too much. It has outlasted all other pack types Ive tried, nothing lasts long in the tropics. These were also used for alpine ops too, has ski-pole and ice pick loops on it.
