I was looking at the BearPac 35+ (on the bear gryills site ) is there better packs for value of money ?? and would 35 lites be enough for tent sleeping bag surpus and things ??

is that for your big trip?

Wolf_Larson · « **Reply #2 on:** August 21, 2009 »

Well yes and no cause its a year away, my trip. I need one for my tent sleeping bag and mat, all the rest of the bits and peices. For my practice runs and i thought the bearpac+35 would do it ?

I think it would be to small. Its more a day pack. I'm using a 45ltr pack a one season sleeping bag no tent a tarp and the rest of kit and there s no room for anything else.

size of your pack really depends on the gear you wanna put in it. large tent+bulky sleeping bag=large bag I'm afraid.
My advise would be to gather up your gear and you'll have a good idea of what size pack you need.

Take a look at the OMM range great pack desigin and light weight I know some people take a look at them and think there not strong enough or wont be water proof but I have just put a light weight rolltop dry bag in mine and its fine, they are far stronger than they look and hold a lot of weight (tho you dont want it to)

The mountain mover might just be what your looking for it can be stripped down to a mean wieght and used as a day pack as well as the full on 55ltr

Think there in arround the £125 mark but not bad considering you are really getting 2 packs for the price of one.....!!

GoLite Quest Backpack, I did not know there was 4 season backpacks. I thought a backpack was a backpack.

Spark · « **Reply #11 on:** August 21, 2009 »

Thats another nice pack light indeed............! but i still like the OMM for its ability to make into a smaller pack..........

Wolf_Larson · « **Reply #12 on:** August 21, 2009 »

I like that about your one also, but i could not find if it was a 4 season pack ?

GoLite Quest Backpack, 4 season dees that mean its water poof ??

Spark · « **Reply #13 on:** August 21, 2009 »

just put a light weight dry bag inside and bobs your uncle will withstand anything you throw at it...!

Like one of these or a couple of diff sizes say bag for clothes, food, first aid ect.......
