Ah thanks for this! The hip packs are attractive but I've always assumed I'd not get everything in them - I probably over-pack but I do like having somewhere to stash a layer I've removed. Would you say the extra space would be enough for a jacket etc?
I usually end up 15-20ish miles from home or a handful of miles from the carpark at a trail centre so a backpack would cover all bases at least.
