Old Karrimor or Macpacs from the 80s-90s still piss all over modern bags imho.
Hot Ice/Earth/Rock etc in 30l will outlast your grandchildren and got everything you need aside from the padded waist strap.
Easily modified to take a camelback reservoir and dirt cheap on eBay.
I’ve tried a few modern bags but none come close for my needs.If I was buying a new bag it’d be the forumenger made BigXtop daypack. It’s essentially a modernised Karrimor lol

Going up to assynt next week. I’ve a knee issue so I’ve gone maxi while missus is staying mini with the vivos
Will pick up some poles this week (thanks to the folk that gave some advice earlier)
Also - I think I need a larger daypack, maybe 25litres. Weve got lightweight running backpacks, and chunky kitchen sink rucksacks, but nothing in between. And thinking of Suilven with a kid - we’ll need lots of water, spare kit, etc.
Any recommendations for a 20-30 litre pack? I think they’re all much of a muchness with the good brands though I want cushioned belt and a chest strap. But anything worth knowing?
