      What’s most important to you? Saving money or saving weight? Is your Deuter pack comfortable? (I have a Deuter and it fits me perfectly, which makes carrying it seem less effort than lighter packs I have tried that were just not the right shape...

      Last Minute info: The Rab is back in the game, the Osprey Velocity is out. My daughter’s boyfriend is over for the weekend and he is a climber and a thruhiker, so he had a look at both packs and helped me fit them better. The Rab is the winner...
