I gave away my 5000 cubic inch pack some years ago. Well, my dad decided to cut a hole in the house wall, and sliced into one side pocket of my pack. Kinda airy in that pocket.
So recently I got bit by some bug, and decided to hike again. I had read both books 'Through Hikers' Eyes' about thru hiking up the AT.
One thing I have noticed is most sites don't have torso lengths and cubic inches/liters the packs can contain.
Some sites have it on the page for some packs, but their searches don't have torso length and volume filters. Sigh.
I did get an Alps Mountaineering pack, 3900 cu. in. external. Adjustable out to 27" torso length, which is what I was looking for. There are some side pockets I have no clue what they are for, so I'll just use them for something. Space below the pack, on the frame, for a sleeping bag or tent, but no straps to hold them on.
What experiences, good or bad, you have had looking for a backpack that fits you ?
