60l for a day pack! fuck me!

My 60l sticks up behind my head to much to go running round in the bush with. Be fine out in the open though I guess
In the market for a 1 or 2 night at most pack and this is on the short list however as I live in the Auckland region there are none available in shops to have a fondle. Very keen also on pros and cons for this pack.
Other short list candidates are Twinneedles Molleme (on the small side I think) and the Badlands Sacrifice pack. I tend to be more of a bush hobbit than a tops man.
One planet traverse 38L is a good option.Quote:

Biggest problem is what you need is at the bottom so lots of bags and organisingQuote:

Just requires a bit of planning I guess. I like one main compartment and one zipped pocket on top or the front.
One compartment is the only way to go for weight, durability and best weatherproofness.
I hate day/overnight packs that have a narrower opening than the width of the base or lower part of the bag. They are a bugger to get meat into, and out of. Especially if its boned meat in a pillow case or such like. The One planet traverse looks like that. So are a lot of Mac-Packs.
The Huntaway looks good. Have you bought one gimp?
