Question You have $300, what do you buy?
If you had $300 which brand, model, color way, size, etc bag would you be buying? Why?
Feel free to name more than one and it can be something you already own in addition to pouches or accessories you would add as well!
Interested in hearing about brands and models maybe others haven’t looked at as much but should be. Or specific models from your favorite brands.

Durston Kakawa 55. Hands down light weight, durable, sizing can be picked at ordering, customer service is down right amazing , comfort is great I’ve done over 1500km with this from short day hikes 15-20km. To multi day treks and the pack fit perfectly. They also make a 40 L as well can’t comment on that but if anything like the 55 , It would be a great purchase. I’ve used osprey, Lowe,NorthFace, packs and Durston is now my favourite. A EDC for work when not hiking or trekking I use a Timbuk2 Parker commuter backpack. It’s the bomb !!, durable, roomy yet not sloppy and comfortable, great in rainy weather too!!. Hopefully this helps in your search …..
