Sorry to hear that Dennis, I have the 45L so can`t really comment on the 35. I am about 5' 11" and it fits me okay. I feel a bit guilty now
No prob, mate, but I am a bit confused about the sizes... I have an old Karrimor Civetta I always thought was about 60 ltrs and thought a 35 ltrs. rucksack would do for a week rambling from hostell to hostel to start again after 25 years but, I filled up the sack and found that it was too small, could take 2 trousers, 2 pullovers, 5 pair of socks, underwair 3 t-shirts and that was it.... Do you have enough room in your 45 ltr. sack for a week?
Cheers,
Dennis.
