I bought the terra 30 a few days after with put realising it was the one you had purchased. Must say I'm very impressed I love the padding on the straps which is a must for me because I always seem to suffer a few days after where they have been sitting but not with this sack. Got everything I needed for an overnighter in it aswell, I reckon I could get a few nights using it if I was careful what food I took.

I used mine for the first time on Sunday and was very impressed,  put a bladder in mine an slipped a survival bag in there too. Kept my water proofs in the bottom bit.

Very comfortable.

Well this wont suprise some but the OMM packs get my vote every time, http://www.theomm.com/products/packs.html

musts for the hills even for a short day trip are first aid kit, wistle, bivvy bag, map of the area, compass, food & fluid, water proof top and bottoms, spare dry top. mobile phone, after that its up to you...!!

The Alpkit gourdon's aint too bad and good for the price, but they're pretty minimilist.
I used a 20L one for the MMM, and just about fitted all I needed in it, not the most comfortable thing I've used but did the job. Unless using only as a daysack, I'd say get the bigger ones.

OMM packs are good, and the 3 litre chest pouch is a top little edition to keep things close to hand. My DSLR lives there if I have it with me, otherwise its full of sweeties and things that would usually clog my trouser pockets.
