Between the hydration pack and water bottle pockets it will comfortably carry 6 liters of water, which is great when water is scarce. The bottom section is the perfect size for a bear can. Someone was thinking.

It's a large pack but its size and design means you won't have to lash on your tent and bag. You just stuff everything inside, so it works out the same. Thanks to a side panel gear access is a snap. Careful of older versions with weak straps. At about $100, it's a great value.
