Thread: packs what to buy?

I've had an 85L (IIRC) Cascade for 12+ years, now using a 75L Ascent for most trips instead - lighter pack and better shape for moving on steep ground. Obviously not quite as much space inside but better attachment points on the outside so it kinda balances out for my use. The shoulder stabiliser straps do seem to gradually loosen themselves when carrying much over 25kg, but its not too much hassle to give them a sporadic tug to tighten it up again.

All my gear is small as well but it soon adds up, really after a 80-90l pack, gives room to pack out meat, and the fresh air should weigh too much.

Started taking tripod and camera on trips now so space gets gobbled up quick.

Thanks for the posts
