Back ventilation for mid-size (30L - 40L) packs?
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

Am I making a mistake taking a 58L bag ?
Kinda shocked by the answers here tbh. I feel like most ppl are trying to make you feel better rather than actually helping you. Im in the middle of my camino atm. Ive been paying attention to everyone’s backpack throughout the way because im a backpack nerd and most (more than 80%) of folks’ daypac

Backpack size - osprey sirius 24 too small?
My wife is F65, 5' 2" and weighs 96 lbs. She has a 26 L backpack (INOXTO - a cheap backpack from Amazon) and everything fits with a little bit of room to spare. I (M65, 5' 8" 150 lbs) have an Osprey Stratos 34 and it fits me well, but that is likely to be too big for you. The problem with the Strato

Small backpack to hold hydroflask + epi pens + inhalers for dayhikes
I have an REI Flash 22 I like a lot better than I thought I would. On the other end of the spectrum, I love my Osprey Stratos 34. Particularly the trampoline backpanel. They're expensive but I bet there are some floating around on Facebook Marketplace etc.

Lumbar packs
I had one Back When. TBH I never really got it to work for me but I also think I was using it a bit too far "off label:" I was trying to use it for trail running. It's interesting to me that trail runners have mostly landed on vest things. I also didn't have strapettes. Ironically I bought a running

Which bag to choose: Osprey Talon 33 vs Stratos 36
I can't remember if the Talon 33 has an aluminum frame. The Stratos does and I love how well it wears. I also really like the ventilation from the trampoline back. So that's my vote between the two. Regarding size, it's kind of a funny in-between. It's definitely bigger than you need for day hiking

Vaude Brenta 30 vs Osprey Hikelite 32
No judgement here! I got an Osprey Stratos 34 for a similar trip. It was great. I really like the trampoline backpanel if it fits you right. Don't take any more than you really need for the trekking portion of the trip. Especially tech. I had my phone and my Kindle and that was it. I probably could
