I am wondering if you guys could help me out.
I am looking for a small pack for short, warm weather trips this summer. It would be at low elevations expecting 50-70 degrees at night and carrying up to 3 litres of water.
I am looking for 25-30 liters,
very durable (bushwacking through blackberry bushes and chapparal),
and since I may have to carry a little extra water, decently padded shoulder straps and hip belt.
So far I have looked at the MLD burn and the ULA CDT. The MLD looks nice, but I don't trust the stretchy pockets to hold up. The CDT is a little big for what I am was looking for. I care more about durability that weight, but it doesn't need to be a tank.
