New Sack

Im in the market for a new sack to carry all my gear in.  It needs to be hold the following kit

thermarest inflatable thingy, Vango Spirit 200+, karrimor lite global traveller sleeping bag, jetboil pcs.

I can fit all this and a few other odds and sods into my karrimor skye 25 litre with a little persuasion, but want more room for luxuries such as food!

I dont really want to go too big as its for wild camping, but I know some bags can be compressed to a lot smaller size when the extra isnt needed!?  I am also more intrested in comfort than super lightweightness as I hate getting a sweaty back with a passion!

Im gonna say a budget of 100 english pund, but I have more if needed but ideally id like to spend a lot less!  I want atleast 45 litres and the idea of one a big one which can be compressed sounds good (save money on buying a bigger pack at a later date) ... what do you suggest!

The OMM The Villain would be worth a look. It's tough, light without sacrificing comfort too much and can be compressed. But try it on, cos it only comes in one back length.

Thanks for the reply, the omm range look very good!  I think im going to go ambleside and have a look around try a few bags on rather than buy one off the net, just to be sure I get the one I really want!

The new Haglofs LIM 45 or 55 models are very comfortable with a load but weigh scarcely over a kg each. Retail for under £100 too. See them at Outdoor Warehouse in Windemere. You'll have to decide if you like the features such as the roll-top closure....

If you want to avoid a sweaty back then maybe you need to look at air-gap models? The Osprey Atmos 50 has a lot of devotees (I'm not one of them ).
