Osprey are over engineered. Deuter I like them but damn heavy (got the Futura 24 that I only use now to carry climbing gear to the local crag where I train; I wouldn't walk more than 2k with this thing fully packed as it feels I'm carrying stuff like a sherpa in the Himalayas!). Like the look of Atom packs but they are expensive and prefer to try something on before buying it, so unfortunately out of the question.
Cilogear packs. Thumbs up! Anyone using them?
Need something between the 20-30l range but the lower the better as obviously the weight of the pack will drop.
To accomodate for:
4L of water
Food
Lightweight jacket
Rope when required (50m)
Harness and other safety climbing gear but minimal like some tape, rap rings and a belay device; no racks and the like
Approach shoes
Headlamp x 2
Power bank
Phone
*For the sake of simplicity the roll-top design is the way to go for me.
Any recommendations?
Thanks
