Any good 30l (or thereabouts) backpacks?
We recently bought two of these - https://www.anacondastores.com/camping-hiking/packs-bags/hik…
Partner got the 30L and I got the 40L. Good back support.. got them on special for $50-$60 if you can wait :)
You could fit a few KFC nuggets and Nespresso Pods in that sucker.
Is there a heater inside?
and have wild animals sniffing the bottom of your pack like they want to mount
That's a problem?
I don't get it. They have the "Denali Matterhorn Hiking Pack Old Model Black & Grey 60 L" pack advertised with regular price of $80. Looks and sounds very similiar, so how does this one have a regular price of $229?

its the old model….
old model apparently. Not sure what's the diff.
Could you fit a dead body in this?
Bikies would love it, simple bludgeon and hack your victim, then stuff them in the backpack and away you go.
Nobody would suspect a thing, just another bikie that loves the great outdoors.
Very random.
Given that both the 60L and 70L versions are the same price, why would somebody choose the smaller one? Is the 60L version better for people of a smaller stature?
Because sometimes you don't want the extra weight/size when lugging it around.
IS it just me, or is this a really, really good deal?
Denali are their own brand gear I believe. I did have one of their packs a few years ago, and only used it a handful of times before getting a better quality osprey bag. The osprey fit better, was sturdier, more functional and a bit lighter.
I haven't owned a hiking pack before but I'm thinking of travelling later in the year. Would you recommend against buying this one? Or is it a good buy for somebody on a budget?
FWIW… i'm in the same boat.
I'm actually considering going to Vietnam specifically to purcahse some North Face Gear - it's all made in Vietnam so it's sooooo cheap (Assuming you know how to negotiate well)
If it's just for travelling between cities, it'll be fine.
If you are going to do any trail hikes, I'd spend the money on a premium brand. Go somewhere like paddy pallin, who have a good range, and try them all on.
@unistudent1: beware of counterfeits. Or factory seconds which on the surface are good, but things like the waterproof seals may not be up to scratch.
It's a good deal but Denali are pretty cheap and nasty. For $70 it's pretty good, but I wouldn't pay much more.
If you're serious about hiking etc. I recommend getting something better. Yeah, a decent Osprey will cost over $200 but it will last you ages and be way lighter and nicer to live with.
Thanks. Are there any other brands you'd recommend?
Berghaus and similar from Mountain Designs are pretty decent. Depends what you want it for exactly. In any case I recommend just going to a store (Mountain Designs, Paddy Pallin, Macpac, etc) and trying them on with some weight. If it doesn't feel right it's going to really suck after a few days of carrying a loaded pack.
In addition to Misskitty's comments, watch some videos online and make sure you know what you're looking for in correct fitting pack, and make sure you try it with weights, the store should have some but if they don't grab some tents or climbing ropes. Definitely do your own research as I've found many staff have a near enough is good enough attitude, so it helps if you know what you're after.
Brand wise - Deuter, Osprey, Lowe Alpine, Greggory are all pretty well regarded. I've had a Mountain Designs pack I bought about 10 years ago before I knew anything about packs, just wandered in and grabbed one. I got lucky and the bag has been around the world, up mountains, down rivers and all over. It is still in near-tiptop shape. However it weighs 4kg as opposed to a similar sized pack by osprey that is around 2kg.
Cheers OP, picked one up from Box Hill for when I g backpacking in the near future.
That's what I call a price hike.
