hi guys recently put up a thread about back packs. decided on a few now and wondered which you guys thought was the best option for a walking the gr54 walk in the alps (11kg kit). the backpacks are, Granite gear alpine vapour 60L(1.26kg); mountain hardwear super scrambler 50-55L(1kg); osprey exos 58L(1.14kg) or lowe alpine zepton 50L(1.16kg). dont hesitate to ask questions about kit list or anything, i can use all the experience i can get. many thanks, ben.
