The Maia has the identical pivoting hipbelt, and suspension (dual alum. stays laminated to foam/plastic framesheet) as the Naos. Just proportioned differently to fit a womens body. One of the best packs made

I am pretty sure that the hip-belt pivots, and has nothing special for suspension, just adjustable straps. Great pack, my friend loves hers.
