Help me find a new backpack please!
My current pack is a 2018 design Camelbak Fourteener 20 liter pack.
The pack is to carry around all the time, as well as to take on longer hikes. The Camelbak is nice, I need a compartment that can hold a hydration bladder, I drink a lot of water. I am looking to carry more water and spare clothes than I can fit in the 20 liter pack. So maybe a 30 or 40 or even 45 liter pack?
I only do day hikes, so I don't need to carry anything overnight.
The shoulder straps on the Camelbak fall apart after a year (I've gone through three identical packs)
If the pack is sized for a bigger person, that's a plus, but I realize I'm not gonna find that.
I am looking to carry 6+ liters of water and 4-5 changes of clothes with me, so I guess I'd rather err on the side of slightly larger, I also keep my wallet/keys/charger in the pack.
The big reason I'm asking here is I can't seem to find bags that have smaller individual exterior pockets that can be individually zipped open or closed without opening the main pack. I am used to being able to easy-access the front pockets to take things in and out without having to open up the whole pack - and most packs I find seem to be just one big compartment with maybe one accessory pouch on the outside, but I want 3-4 of those for different things.
