I should post pix of my old TourJour sometime.
I've been thinking about buying a new day-pack and I think I'll be getting the new Contour

Same volume as the old TourJour and I want something that I can put a bivvy sack and some extra warm clothing in, but being able to use it for shopping is also good

I can squeeze in comfortably in that pack:
-Approach shoes
-Thermal jacket
-Rain jacket
-Spare t-shirt, socks and shorts (including an extra pair of long pants)
-Food meals x 2 (large lunch + afternoon snack)
Still room left for more stuff
Plus a full 2.5L bladder which goes in a separate compart. between your back and the main pack compart.
The problem of getting larger packs for day use is that you either fill them up with unnecessary stuff or they end up having excessive empty space left.
It's better learning how to pack a day/multi-hike pack so you buy the correct size rather than spending money on a pack that's way too large for your needs.
Day pack should also have room for a six pack.gbagua wrote:33L is too big for a daypack. 11L is perfect and the Talon will accomodate for a lot of stuff despite its capacity.

Bravo Dexter for your level of diplomacy and tact.

Amidst all the determinedly tangential thread creep, I didn't notice that you had bought this. I was unaware of the model but it looks ideal for what you have described as your usage. Would also be a great choice for carry on if/when you use air travel.
The only downer for me, is that I have an old spinal injury, and with even day packs, I like to get the weight off my shoulders and onto my hips, and that could be a bit of a challenge with this one (and with most in that capacity range)
