Black Diamond Pursuit 15 Backpack - Black - Large

But the coolest are the Hyperlite Mountain Gear Pods ($60-$70, 1.2-1.4 oz./34g-39.7g, 6.8L to 12.3L), which I’ve used many times, including on a five-day hike in the Wind River Range, a nine-day hike of over 120 miles through the High Sierra, mostly on the John Muir Trail, and a seven-day hike in Glacier National Park

Out of the box, the bag can hold 35L of cargo (meeting international carry-on size requirements), but then expands to 45L to carry even more
