I think ITW is the company that created them but I could be wrong. Either way there’s a ton of cheaper knock-offs now to choose from if that was more your thing. Here’s some of the ITW ones on Amazon.
Nice review..I've owned lots of Kifaru gear over the years. As far as the webbing: don't cut it, or think twice (for resale value).
I highly recommend the ITW Web Dominators for keeping a tidy pack (or any with Molle webbing that is).
Found it. It's Osprey Escapist 32. It's a great bag. It even has a pouch for extra shoes and a rain cover. Also make sure you pick these up! These are web dominators and helps keep your extra straps held down together (so they don't flap in the wind).

Hmm stuff to carry. I think the main thing I would recommend would be a rain cover. I'm not sure how often you are outside with your backpack, but this is great to carry in case of rain. Went through three years of college with one, and for where I live it was plenty useful. Super lightweight and doesn't take up any space.
Also keep in mind that the GR1 doesn't come with a waist strap or a chest strap. Those are separate purchases. With a pack that small you probably won't need a waist strap unless you join their Rucking events.
If you're one who dislikes the backpack straps flapping all over the place, you can invest in web dominators. There are other types so if you are interested, be sure to look at the others as well. This probably won't make too much of a difference for a bag like the GR1 since you only have two straps to deal with. Personally, I have not invested into such a thing, but it always seemed like an appealing concept.
Still pretty new to all this stuff myself. I mostly just have knowledge from researching online rather than owning the products. Hope some of this helps!
Depending on the size of the strap - web dominators:
