I grabbed my Frost River Summit Boulder Jct bag for this review. 40 litres is fine. In spring and summer in my book clothing is stuff I wear so I dont need a big pack. In autumn and winter I am usually wearing my waterproofs or they are drying on the outside of the pack in a mesh bag. So weight? The bag is 3.5lbs. A mess tin with lunch/snacks in the back pocket is usually enough food for me. The extra large Forest River shell bag goes in the main compartment. Thats 1.7 lbs and takes up about 25l. Yes the shell bag is in there and just goes from pack to pack so I am always super organised. Tools and everything I need for camp and to spend the night fits in there. German army sleeping mat fits nicely and is functional. On the outside is my umbrella for sun or light rain and everything cinches down tight. Water goes on the shoulder straps. I went for buckskin which is super comfortable and sternum straps. Still lots of room - at least 15l to spare for gear or extra water and food if you really need it. Next thing I pull out is my Trangia 25 stove set which fits perfectly in the bottom compartment if I am "cook". You can see I am old school! 2lbs. Or yes the Minimo and gas. Tarp/Lightweight tent and sleeping bag in there if not. Still room for waterproofs and bag waterproof cover. So with a good choice of the right gear for me I hardly notice I am wearing this great looking pack as I swing along.

The Versatile Boulder Summit Pack
I appreciate the thoughtful design of this pack and how versatile it is without sacrificing the minimalist approach! The capacity matches my 71yr old modest frame without tempting me to bite off more than I can chew. Beautiful craftsmanship will ensure its heirloom status.

Vertical and nicely sized.
Vertical orientation is what I wanted and got, enhanced by bottom enclosures with separate zipper access. Its medium capacity disciples one not to
overload, something this age-75 guy must consider.

BEST BAG IVER EVER OWNED!!!
I got one of these guys for Christmas and wanted to wait a few months to get a feel for and test how durable it really is. I must say after a dozen hikes and using it daily for work, it’s the best bag I’ve ever owned ;). Super comfortable and the compartments perfectly fit everything I need for my trips, travels, trials and tribulations. The only thing I wish this bag had is a way to attach a bedroll or a waist belt. Otherwise I give it a perfect score for being a nifty bag that I hope to use for years to come.
