Soelden 42

I think you're asking too much here. Although one of my friends uses a Kelty Redwing (36?) this way. He says it's tough to get all his multi day stuff secured though. I actually don't own a travel backpack per se. You see the Farpoint 40 recommended a lot. Despite that, it has a just-ok harness (but

I tried on an Escapist the other day. It fits weird. Honestly I don't think 3-4 L here and there is enough to really distinguish backpacks. At that point, choose on features. I have an Osprey Stratos 34 I love but haven't tried skiing in. I'm not sure if the frame might be too much. I have an Osprey

It probably won't. It's almost 30" long and the baggage sizer is 22" long. Travel backpacks come in right around 40 L because they're designed around a 22x14x9 luggage size. If 8" of the Rook's length is the brain (seems like a lot to me) you might be able to get away with it if you don't pack it fu

Probably about a dozen. Mostly different outdoor sports bags. I use them for outdoor sports. 😂 I actually don't own a purpose-built travel bag. I frequently want to do some outdoors sport or another when I'm traveling and want that bag. Between my Osprey Soelden 42 and my Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault

Sort of? TBH, I didn't try. I did the Kumano Kodo trail in Japan, staying in inns, so a similar hut-to-hut trip in that sense. But I also brought a really big roller with clothes for before and after and that I used to shuttle home some souvenirs. Anyway, I bought my Osprey Stratos 34 for that trip.

Gym days - Timbuk2 Classic Large messenger. I could also see a duffel. Just want something big enough that still fits in a locker. Don't overthink it. I have an Edelrid Liner rope bag and it's great for gym climbing. Outdoors - honestly my setup is just ok. I have an Osprey Soelden 42 and I'd like s

Yeah, I've started using a little packable backpack for that, but I don't think it would be much fun to use for the approach or a walk off. My usual crag pack is an Osprey Soelden 42. It claims you can use it with a harness and I can see that working for glacier travel but I think it would suck for

Carry on or personal item? Carry on replacement backpacks hover right around 40 L. The REI Trail 40 gets recommended fairly regularly here. I travel with my Osprey Soelden 42 sometimes but it's a bit weird as a day hiking pack.

How much climbing gear are we talking? I wrote a bunch more but it's pretty TL;DR. I think if you're only carrying personal gear, like a bum, it'll be fine. If you're also carrying quick draws and/or the rope, and you're not an ultralight masochist, it'll be way too small and also not stiff enough.

Oh, good luck. The rope especially is a pretty big driver of needing a bigger, more technical pack. You could see if Dakine makes something you can use. Look at the ski touring packs: these often have accommodation for a rope and Dakine likes to make packs that do double duty. What else... Black Dia
