Olmsted Pack for a Marathon weekend?

I have this and use it for run commuting to the office. It would be way too small for one-bag option for your trip. I have a Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L which I use for my travel one-bag option which works super well.

Is a 35L backpack enough for one month?

Not sure about space but if you do want to be on the safe side, the patagonia black hole MLC (45L) and cotopaxi allpa (42L) seem like solid options with the luggage style opening that I think makes a great travel backpack.

Bag Finder Megathread - 06 April 2026

I’m looking for a 40-45L travel pack to bridge the gap between my massive 65L hauler and my smaller 20-35L daypacks. Before the "just pack smaller" crowd chimes in, I physically can't: I have to carry bulky shoes for health reasons, cold/wet weather gear, a 16” laptop for work, and heavy camera lens

Looking for a backpack, frequent traveler

if you're looking for a carryon / overhead bag that is bigger than the yeti, but very similar in layout - check out the Black Hole MLC 45L. they also have a Mini MLC at 30L, but it looks like it would be essentially the same as your existing bag.

Planning to do a 3 day overnight hike in grampians australia in sept, can i just use the patagonia blackhole 55?

MLC 45l should be looked at like a black hole duffle bag with better straps and tech organization. Backpacks are great but sometimes you just want to drag your expedition duffle around.
