What size pack?
Buy for the longest trip you'll do most often. A half-empty big pack carries worse than a full one the right size. This one is 8 L.
| Trip | Size | What goes in it |
|---|---|---|
| Day walks and trail runs | 10 to 30 L | Water, food, a warm layer, rain jacket, first aid |
| One or two nights | 30 to 45 L | Add a compact bag, mat, shelter and a small cook kit |
| Multi-day walks | 45 to 65 L | Several days of food, and room for cold-weather layers |
Fit by back length
Measure from the bone at the base of your neck to the top of your hips. That, not your height, decides the size.
Frame or frameless
Frameless packs are the lightest but carry best with a light load. A frame moves heavier loads onto your hips.
Line it
Very few packs are waterproof. Put a pack liner or dry bags inside, and keep your sleeping bag in one.
Heavy things close
Pack food and water against your back, between your shoulder blades, and light, bulky gear at the bottom.

Questions
Will it bounce?
Not if it's fitted: tighten the two chest straps until it hugs your ribs, and pack the heaviest things close to your back.
Which size fits me?
Fit is set by back length: from the bony bump at the base of your neck down to the top of your hip bones. The spec table gives the size range where the maker publishes it.
Is it waterproof?
It sheds showers. For a long day of rain, pack your gear in a liner or dry bags, and use the rain cover if it has one.
When will it arrive?
