They use a lighter nylon on the ACT lite, and also a different suspension. Carrying capacity is about 45lbs for the ACT lite vs. 55lbs to 70lbs for the ACT. The ACT lite is weighs about 2 lbs less than the ACt. The packs are similar in their layout but do have a few different features like a rain cover (ACT) and a "Stuff it" pocket (ACT lite). If you want a pack that can haul big loads and withstand a roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris, then get the Air Contact.

The lite is lighter and has less padding on all of the straps (shoulder and hip belt)
