  Comfort is King, whether it's shoe/sock combo or backpack. Sizing wise, presumably you can fit all of your gear in either. So what is your back telling you? As to alternatives, personally I have a Dueter Futura 32. Everything fits and I still...

  No, no, I am talking about the big mesh pocket on the back, not the two on both sides, where usually are bottles.

  Without the storage mesh pocket, I would have to use a water bladder rather than bottles, correct?

  I would not worry about 4 litres but I would look at how comfortable I am. Exos is lighter, but you have to add the weight of the raincover (wich is not included). Stratos doesn't have the big mesh pocket; it has a zipped pocket instead. Anyway...

  Very different packs. I use the Stratos 34L. Have done since 2015. Love it. Very comfortable. I originally planned to buy the Exos 38L, but didn’t find it as comfortable, The straps etc were quite thin. And I don’t think it has the ‘trampoline’ back.

  Both are good - although someone will be along shortly to point out that they’re not ‘lightweight’ packs. Load either up with 10kg and go with whichever is most comfortable. +/- 4 litres is neither here nor there. Just because you have the...

  Load them both up with your gear and choose the one that's more comfortable. If neither is comfortable keep looking.

  I am wondering on personal preference out there. For the full Francés route next summer, I will either buy the Osprey Stratos 34L or the Osprey Exos 38L. Would you prefer 34 or 38L? Anyone have experience with these packs? My budget maxes out...

  AndyBorba replied to the thread Sleeping Pad? Day pack?.
  
  So you prefer 20L over 10L? Is 10L too small?
