[pct-l] The dreaded Backpacks

[Ryno Terblanche]

I don't know any of the backpacks you mentioned but depending on how light
weight you want to go check out the golite jam and golite pinnacle packs.
They are not too expensive and available in europe. I'm going with the
pinnacle which has enough space for a bear cannister but can also be
compressed to a smaller size with it's compression straps. Or check out the
ULA packs, also sold in europe but bit more expensive.
