I´m trying to find a pack that is little bigger than my Maxped Condor II so that I can carry my hammocking gear, Storm kettle, spare clothes, food and water in a 1-2 night hikes. I like the alice design because it has three quite large outside pockets, a big mouth in main compartment and it still isn´t huge. Of course the price is one thing. If I could use 200-300$ for a pack it would be different.

Still I´m using 200-300$ to SY steel...
