Stratos 34L

Well, my pack of choice for the Camino is the Osprey Stratos 34. But if you really wanna go smaller, Osprey makes a Stratos 24L pack as well(Sirrus 24L for women). The Stratos line of packs are super comfortable and have this great trampoline suspension system that allows tons of airflow to keep you

Pack sizes are deceiving. Some packs are tall and narrow and look huge while others are shorter and look smaller even tho they are technically the same liter size. Plus it depends on the person. And the time of year you'll be walking the Camino. I'm 6'4" tall & 230lbs and a 50L pack looks like a 30L

I love my Stratos 34. I got it for a multi-day trekking trip staying in inns that provided bedding. It was great! I don't know how much the huts you're thinking of provide but if you just need to get yourself, maybe a little extra clothing, some toiletries and whatnot, and food and water for the day

Love my Osprey Stratos 34. Even my Osprey Syncro 20 has a trampoline back. The usual ridged foam approach is better than nothing but I don't think it works very well. There's no airflow to take your sweat away. Yes, the wire required for a trampoline back to work makes a stiffer, heavier backpack. I

Laughs in 34 or 42 L. Enjoy the pack. It's fine. It's light, right? A marginal amount of extra bulk isn't that big a deal. Did you load all the stuff you mentioned for the picture? Granted, everyone lies a bit about backpack volume but I think somewhere in the 20's is perfect for day hiking. If it's

Does your existing setup annoy you? There's your answer. I find it worthwhile to have a hiking pack I really like. Since you're road tripping - is space in your car an issue? My Osprey Stratos 34 is my favorite for non-technical day hiking. Given your max length, it actually might be the right size

I use an Osprey stratos 34 liter. No brain, long zip to open like 2/3 of the pack. No significant digging needed. Now, you said you don't want tips on packing / organizing... But why are you digging in your pack? I've done several Camino and have opened my pack on trail maybe once. Hip belt pockets

Im on day 4 of my Frances journey I drove from La Coruña to SAN Sebastian then Bayonne andSJPP as per your plan, travelled on a saturday and all public transport ran like clockwork. got to SJPP late afternoon, slept and walked to Roncesvalles the next day, as someone said above, the elevation is a k

34-38L is what I've seen the most out here. Don't go bigger than that. (I'm on day 24 out of 28 days so far and I've got a 34L, with some room to spare). Bag: Osprey Stratos 34. EXTREMELY well made I'm so impressed. Shoes: light and fluffy. Hoka Speedgoats for me. Half a size bigger than normal.

Love my Osprey Stratos 34. Based on that, either the Stratos or Manta 24. Same suspension, one of them comes with a hydration bladder. I like my REI Flash 22 way better than I thought I would. The Osprey Talon 22 is incredibly popular. They have different attitudes about structure and support and I
