Multi-day Pack Recommendations

I'm looking for a pack for a multi-day hut trip. I've already read most of the pack reviews on here and the BD Anarchist looks great but seems too small for a sleeping bag, clothes, food, avi gear, etc.

I guess I could always strap the sleeping bag to the outside of the pack but that wouldn't be my first choice. So what are you guy's using for multi-day tours? What recs can you make for things to look for and things to ignore?

So far the BCA Alp55 looks like the front runner but I haven't found any place local that has them.

I use Millet Peuterey 50 + 15, both for skiing, hiking and mountaineering...

The BCA Alp55 should also be a great choice. Just basicly get a small pack and with a huge one, you end up lugging way too much stuff along...

Right - I want a pack as small as possible that will still fit the necessities. Sounds like the 50-55L range is appropriate.

I have an osprey dealer in town but they didn't have the Switch in stock. It's also on the list. Thanks.

Ditto. My Eiger 45 is perfect and usually has room to spare, even with a big bag of boxed wine. And unless you sleep cold a 30 degree bag is plenty warm
