Stratos 34L

I’ve used the Stratos 34L on several Caminos over the last 10 years. I purchased mine in 2015. The style has slightly changed, but it is an awesome pack! Never had a problem with it as a carry-on either.The other pack I have used on Caminos is the Osprey Hikelite 32L. It’s also a great pack, but the

34-38L is what I've seen the most out here. Don't go bigger than that. (I'm on day 24 out of 28 days so far and I've got a 34L, with some room to spare). Bag: Osprey Stratos 34. EXTREMELY well made I'm so impressed. Shoes: light and fluffy. Hoka Speedgoats for me. Half a size bigger than normal.

How big is that in liters? Anyway, I have two candidates for you. The Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault Pack - it doesn't meet a lot of your bullet points but I have one, I love it, and I think that in terms of actual function it would be great.

TNF mostly doesn't do outdoors packs but they're getting back into it but this one doesn't have the usual outdoors pocketing - like no side pockets - and it's suspiciously inexpensive. I couldn't tell if it has a real f

I bought the Stratos 34 from REI but returned it before I ever used it. I didn’t realize there is a Stratos 34 and 36 and I had them confused. I traded it for a 36 which I like more because it is top load. It just suits my packing better and I don’t trust that zipper to hold stuff inPretty much the

Yes! There are a few. I think I'm using this one. https://a.co/d/cDI9eWD In retrospect I think one of the bajillions that are marketed to the ultralight people (or 2) and a Smartwater bottle or two would be a better choice but I really wanted to use one of my bike bottles and they have a bit bigger

I've been using an Osprey Soelden 42. It's just ok. It's really for ski touring. It does have rope and helmet carry but to some degree those are only important because it's kinda small. The hydration situation is a bit funky too. Climbing loads can be pretty heavy between all the carabiners and the
