Pack recommendations for semi-adventure rides?

lundi 12 octobre 2015

Looking for a good pack for longer rides than just a couple hours out and back. Maybe not for an epic (cause I would just use my 28L touring pack), but I'm talking 4-7 hour rides in remote areas.

The main goal is to have a pack that's big enough to be functional but small enough to cinch down and allow for fast, jumpy riding. Something with semi-reasonable back ventilation that can withstand years of being soaked in sweat-salt and sunblock.

How big is that pack? 15L? 18L? 20L? I have an old Dakine Drafter (current version claims to be 12L) that just cannot hold all of this stuff, and sometimes when I put stuff in the outer pocket, even cinched down it will pop out of the back on a landing.

I want to be able to hold (probably my max list for these kinds of rides):
  • 3L reservoir
  • extra sunblock, first aid kit (size of a fully stuffed sandwich bag), asthma crap
  • A burrito, a few Honey stinger packs, and a couple of granola bars
  • 2 extra layers + leg warmers
  • small PLB / SPOT and an emergency bivy
  • Repair kit, 2 tubes, pump, multitool, spare hanger, tiny thing of duct tape, etc.
  • can of beer
  • Lights
  • map & compass etc.
