which rucksack?

[molehill]

OMM still do a 45 ltr backpack called the Villain (currently available in 2 versions). The lighter of the 2 weighs in at 1050gms, whilst the more comprehensive model ( the MSC version) weighs 1160gms.

Having said that, I would agree wholeheartedly with Molehill, that subject to correct gear choice (often limited by budget) you could go with a smaller and lighter pack, in which case, (imho) the OMM Jirishanca at 35ltrs is worth looking at....

It's the OMM Jirishanca that I have, and hope to fit everything into, good sturdy sac and comfortable. Strips down well for lightweight use too. It's surprising what will go if you think about it hard - and pack it in well. The Missus has been wearing her sac for a couple of hours nearly every day around the house, we couldn't find the rice this weekend, there was 4kgs in her bloody rucksac
