This heaps.
I've accumulated a few over the years.
Have ended up with a 25L single compartment for overnight, 35 twin compartment o'night w/camera, 50L alpine for a few days/winter climbing, and a 65L hiking pack for long bush trips.
It's pretty sweet - never too hot or too cold - always juuuust right.
And they don't make them like they used to.
My 50 is one of these. Ripstop canvas ½ covered with Kevlar weave cordura. I doubt even my son will ever wear it out.
