pic request: compressed mess backpacks

someone asked about this before a few months ago but got no real answers.
im looking for pics of mess backpacks (reload, chicacowig, freight) that are compressed. everyone always sends in shots of full bags, but most of the time my bag does not contain 30 beers and 2 bottles of wine, so how the bag functions/looks when close to empty is important.

Heres a crude shot of my freight backpack (its a medium), hopefully this helps. May be able to get some better shots later.

Had no problems using this as carry-on back when it was compressed.

Absntr has a nice photo set of his here:
