I no longer have to strap gear onto the outside of my pack!
I am of the mindset that unless you are through-hiking the Appalachian Trail, carrying extra amenities for comfort and convenience are well worth the extra bulk. I bought this large Whitney 95 to replace my Gregory Lassen which, while serving me well for many miles, was just not roomy enough for all of my gear...especially when I needed more layers for cold camping. My new Whitney weighs one pound LESS than my old Lassen (construction/material advances I assume) and is 1500 cubic inches larger! If I dont fill it up entirely, I simply crank down the straps and it instantly becomes a smaller pack. The side pockets are roomy enough to hold all of the gear I keep in ditty bags outside of the main compartment allowing me to place the larger bulkier items (tent, tarp, foam camp chair, giant foam pad, sven saw, hammock, food, clothing, trail runners, etc...) inside. I really don't ever anticipate completely filling this thing up, but it sure is nice to know you have the room if its ever needed. It rained the first time I took it out and it pleased me that I could actually put the pack cover over everything because it was INSIDE the pack! I can also load the pack faster without needing a schematic diagram of exactly where everything must go to make it fit. The side, top, and front entrances help that too. This pack is more comfortable and more adjustable than my smaller one. I dont know why I waited so long to get it.
