Good to know
What does the litre figure actually include?
Main compartment only, in most cases. External pockets and stretch panels are usually excluded, and brands differ on this. Treat volume as a guide for comparing bags within a brand and as a rough one across brands.
Water resistant or waterproof?
Different things, and we publish the brand's own wording. Water-resistant fabric handles rain for a while and wets out eventually. A roll-top dry bag is the only thing here that keeps contents dry when it is properly sealed. If your gear must stay dry, use a dry bag inside the pack rather than trusting the pack.
How many dry bags do I actually need?
Most people end up with two: a big one lining the pack, and a small one for the things that must not get wet no matter what. Phone, keys, spare batteries. Colour-coding them saves digging in the rain.
