I've slowly been replacing my starting gear, as my stuff has become smaller my 70L rucksack is way too large now, What do you recommend in the 50L range for hopefully less than £100.Bought pic related and things are a bit snug.
ive really like my Osprey aether 55L anti-gravbut if you overload the weight by even a liiiitle bit it will squeak with every step driving you fucking insane, and the side water bottle pockets are retarded

>>2745894>le obligatory backpack threadI use an Osprey Kestral 48Liter for shorter trips which replaced my 70L years ago. Euros love shitting on Osprey so maybe a Fjällräven --that gets spammed here all the time too.
/out/ is a Hill People Gear board, they recently released a lightweight version of their "Ute" backpack, which is lighter than the comparable options from osprey, mystery ranch, and most of the other big packmakers.Osprey is for normalfaggots and citydwellers.
>>2747706Old osprey is good. The new stuff is pretty same same with a lot of other stuff on the market now.Gregory is amazing but way overpriced.That pack is also the shittiest one they make m8. Just like every other manufacturer: not all their stuff is good just because a lot of it is.
>>2745894yuppies sell great, lightweight gear at a fraction of retail after one or two nights use. Durston Kakwa 55 is good. I got a Gossamer Gorilla 50 for $125 and it was virtually unused
>>2747709>That pack is also the shittiest one they make m8.IDK man, I have one and the few times I've used it it has been excellent, no discernible quality difference from the full-weight ones that I could tell.
>>2747728We'll agree to disagree.If they removed that giant pocket on the back it would be a million times better. I've compared this exact pack to my Kestrel and it was total shit compared to the Kestrel--the weight distribution is horrible.
>>2745894Kelty’s 50L bags are solid
>>2745894Kelty, Deuter, Osprey, Gregory, Mystery RanchThere ya go just named 5 brands that have good packs. I prefer the MR packs for carrying heavy shit, they distribute the weight to your hips better than the others IMO With that being said I haven’t tried a hill people gear pack, but have heard they distribute weight well too. I would stay away from the hyperlite fad packs. Unless you are going super light they will put too much weight on your shoulders and you’ll have a tough time. I see people going ice climbing with their packs and it just seems ridiculous, since the ice climbing gear is so heavy and sharp, not sure why you’d want a pack like that for ice cragging
>>2748522I've had several of these and I gotta say even though the brand is good not all of their packs are good. This has more to do with torso size but in some cases the packs just carry weight badly.
