This might have been done a death already, so stick with me
Im the process of consolidating my kit. Since 2006 Ive use the PLCE burgen and side pockets, but in recent years have ditched the side pockets due to taking less and less equipment on my travels.
I am now looking to downsize my bag, but would appreciate any feedback and recommendations on a decent 45-60 ltr bag under £100. I'm a big guy (52 inch chest), so straps are an issue on some bags. My current all year round kit includes the list, but rarely differs. I have a separate external pouch I stow my food in, so space for food is less of a consideration. I usually stay out for 1-2 nights, rarely 3,
Cheers, look forward to your recommendations.
