65 is the perfect size for your gear even into winter when you carry a bit more clothing but then lacks the room to fit in meat from a large animal.
A lot depends on the quality/size of your gear like sleeping bags and tents etc and if you have to carry lots of water
75 or 85 is a good starting point and gives you more flexibility but just remember not to fill it with crap just because you have the room.
