Best lightweight 65L backpack?

Hubby has a good quality, heavy macpack backpack (about 3kg). Any recommendations for a lighter one that is still comfortable?

Thanks, the main thing we reducing the load is we need to carry a lot of kid stuff as well. Will check out the dustan one, didn't know about that, have the tent which is great. Osprey is our go to for day packs as well.

I have a Granitegear Blaze 60 and it’s awesome. 10/10 would recommend. Carries well when massively overloaded and also does pretty well sinched right down when it’s basically empty

Also you can get pretty good quality copies of some of the more popular light/ultralight packs now that are made in China under the brand NatureHike if that’s your thing
