Depends how big your tent, sleeping bag, spare clothes and food are!
Got a friendly local shop who wouldn't mind you taking a pile of stuff down and trying a few rucksacks for size?

yes, I've done this, but just make sure you pack light with everything else and use high calorie density foods and you'll be ok.
consider montane backpacks too, I love mine

Packing light is the easiest way to make your trip more enjoyable, if you have the cash it's the way to go. Keep in mind that robustness or functionality is often compromised by lightweight solutions.

Is a 40L backpack enough for a ~5 day hike with tent, sleeping bag, spare clothes and food?
Water will be available along route.
No proper hiking experience other than daytrips with minimal packing and i'm thinking of doing some hiking in northern sweden first week in september.
Been looking at the Osprey Talon 44 but looking at alternatives around £100-£150.
