Really comes down to how much you want to spend. And the intended uses. I have had
Macpac 90L Cascade(no longer made but on TM occasion 2nd Hand) - took 15 years of abuse before i bought a new pack
Replaced the Macpac with a WILDERNESS EQUIPMENT PRION 85 - bomb proof canvas (Western Australia version of Cactus) but its heavy (~3.5kg bare)
Which got replaced for weekenders with a Sitka Mountain Hauler 4000 (60L) nice and light works well. https://safarisupply.co.nz/collectio...ack-sub-alpine
For a Fiordland Trip have used the Mystery Ranch Beartooth 80 and that was the best pack yet that i used yet. Was on trial so had to give it back to Safari Supply but i will be purchasing one at some point.
If you do go Mystery Ranch or Sitka use "Paddy" for 10% off at Safari Supply
