Choose by Fit, Not Capacity Alone

Measure torso length, test the hip belt over the hip bones, and evaluate the complete load with food and water. A 55-liter backpack is useful only when the harness fits the hiker, the sleeping system fits the pack, and the final weight remains manageable for the route.
