Mike, I have the Dana Bomb. The medium packbag is 3200 cu in. The large
size is 3600 cu. in. It's a push, but I can get all my stuff for a
week's hike into it, even in the winter. That includes the tent in the
"beaver tail" feature on the back of the pack. The tent is a Stephenson,
so that's a factor.

I love the way it carries and it's forced me to go light. My cavernous
Gregory is gathering dust in the garage.

Pete
