Frameless no hipbelt
I disagree that you can get away with a small pack if you are only out for a weekend. Except for food, the bulky gear you bring, – tent, sleeping bag, cookware, ect, are the same and take up the same amount of space. If you can afford light, low bulk gear or you sleep in a hut, you can go with a small pack. Otherwise think twice before going with a 50l pack. You end up strapping stuff to the outside of the pack or carrying it in your hand, like my friend once did.
a nice guide for beginners like me!
Good infos for beginner like me 🙂
if you think youre taking that 100L pack on a week trip youre going to have bad time
I went with the Osprey Volt 75 It’ll def solve my winter overnighters, and my multi day outings for the other 3 seasons
About capacity: “for how many days are you going” is a misleading marker. It depends only on activities. Backpack for a week, when you sleep in cities (or huts) and are able to get food at bars or shelters will be a lot smaller then a backpack for a two days, one night hike with a tent. I’ve done the former with a 35L pack, the latter requires a 50L pack (at least).
You should think in activities:
– cooking – 2 – 5L
– sleeping outdoors – 10 – 25L
– hiking in bad weather…
and so on.
I owned Osprey Atmos AG 50L for almost 3 years now, I bought it for $240 plus shipping but its worth it. I highly recommend Osprey Backpacks/Rucksacks
Seeing what you can fit in there would be helpful. Tent+sleeping bag + sleeping matt+ and basic gear.
What would one normally lash with a daisy chain?
The external frame pack has a much higher center of gravity
Therefore you walk much straighter and upright
Very different feel from the internal frame
