FINALLY I have narrowed the rucksack options down to two, the Highlander Forces 44l and the Lowe Alpine Sting. I am interested in how small the sting compresses. Please Help!!!!!

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I'm really happy with my Sting - extremely comfortable to carry, good capacity without being ridiculous. It will compress pretty small but it is not as small as a daypack but I'm happy to trade off the extra size for the sheer comfort of the thing 
Hope this helps,
Phil

The sting is by far the better bag IMO mate
It will sinch up pretty tight, but as said will always be bulkier than a 30ltr daysack
you will be more comfortable with slightly large daysack than trying to make a daysack into a trecking pack by adding pockets and making the capacity too much for its suspenion system to cope with

Lowe Alpine V Highlander? The Sting has an excellent reputation anyway, and although Arrse gave the Highlander a good review, for about the same price, Endicotts Grade 1 Sting looks better in the long run. Of course if you could try one or both first, that would be great.

Great! I reckon I'll go for this one then! Finally I can stop looking for a rucksack and start looking at doing the fun stuff again! Yeah!
Don't bet on it. There'll always be an itch to look for a better or different ruck
What he said. LOL. Rucksacks, knives, mess kits, etc.
Sting for sure. You can guarantee it will fit as its adjustable. The extra weight is carried far better due to the vastly improved comfort. I never use my daypack on days out, just the sting! The extra capacity as come in useful should you find anything 'interesting'...
Yeah... everyone stopped reading those threads so I kept making new threads!
Not best way to do things really, just bump your original thread.
