Choose by use
| Capacity | What for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| 35 to 45 litres | Weekend, cabin with many carriers | Check your airline's limit |
| 45 to 60 litres | A week away, sport with kit | No longer hand luggage |
| Over 60 litres | Long stays, bulky gear | Without a hip belt it is unworkable |
What you notice when it is loaded
- Wide padded straps: without them the weight digs into the shoulders from the first kilometre.
- A sternum strap: it stops the straps sliding outwards. Small detail, large difference.
- Front opening: a pack that opens only at the top forces you to empty it to reach the bottom.
