New Hydration packs from Anton Krupicka & Scott Jurek coming out.

Ultimate Direction offers 3 new packs in November.

I noticed Anton (Tony) Krupicka posted about this on Facebook and had to go check it out because I just bought a hydration pack a month ago. I bought an UltrAspire Fastpack. If you click on the link you will notice the Fastpack is one of the largest packs in the UltrAspire catalog whereas most people are wanting a very light minimal pack for race day like the ones Anton is promoting. I'm not anticipating wearing any backpack any time soon in a race. I wore mine for the Coastal 50k and it was overkill. I had mini-maps and aid stations marked on elevation charts, gels, sports beans, MetRx Bars, band-aids for blisters, creams for chafing, a small compass & tiny flashlight. I carried my smart phone for tunes and the little magnetic sweat proof pocket had Salt Caps in it.  Basically everything you would need if you were out for a long desolate training run with enough room leftover to carry multi-day camping gear. This pack is not specific to running. It's made for "fastpacking" for multiple days.
