I got the largest size pack so I could have a long thin pack for train travel, rather than a smaller one that would be thicker. Yet still big enough for carrying large loads for backpacking adventures. I love all the features this pack has, and varuste had the best pricing.

The chest is good and the pockets make packing easier. The only minus is that the straps press really hard on the front of the shoulder. I've adjusted everything, but I can't get rid of this. Maybe it's better for the not so fussy. The measurements are very accurate, I'm 161 cm tall and I bought a chest size XS/S. I still keep the bike and I don't plan to change. Good rain protection.

The bag fits really well and even though the liter volume is large, you don't notice it until you start packing. The items fit perfectly. The detachable daypack is great, surprisingly roomy too. The chest adjustments are particularly good, especially the shoulder straps and hip velcro adjustments. I can't think of anything negative to say about this bike. Button purchase

Super comfortable and very handy small backpack for mountaineering.

I had to buy a more spacious tank instead of 70L. Now I can get all the travel stuff inside the bike and nothing extra hangs outside. It sits well on the back and even a full bag feels light to carry. You can use the main cap as a daypack, the hand when you leave the tent to visit sights that deviate from the route. Now you don't need to cram in a week's worth of travel stuff, but you can get everything well organized. In fact, you should think carefully about the size of the pack, even on short trips you can carry a bigger pack, but on longer trips, if possible, you will quickly find space in a smaller pack. I myself made a mistake with the previous bike back in the day. I just like these chests that can be opened at the top, in the middle and at the bottom.
