Hey guys!
Sorry to post again so soon over the last few days! I'm looking for a solid pack for a mix of apalachian trail walking and also the american discovery trail until then. Let me say that I've tried out the Osprey Xenon 85 for size and it's WAYYYYY too big for me. I'm looking at stores and I tried on the Deuter ACT LITE 60+10 and it seemed quite sufficient although I'm now seeing on their website that they have a 50+10 option.
Now I'm deciding between the two and I'm not sure what to go with.
I want to have something that would all-around be a good pick. Would the 60+10 add too much weight and room for hike of the appalachian trail? Let me say that I can stuff all of my junk into an 85 liter pack without touching a single one of the side pockets in the the xenon and I can fit everything in there but my sleeping pad because it's just too big (this stuff is all of my clothes, three days worth of food, a 2.5 liter water bladder and sleeping bag and so forth). I'm stuck on a decision here. :(
