[QUOTE="Pintohoo, post: 1015560, member: 101216"] re. "This packable[URL='https://www.decathlon.es/es/p/bolsa-bandolera-de-montana-y-trekking-viaje-forclaz-100-15l-compacta/_/R-p-309862?mc=8560412&_adin=11551547647'][B] messenger bag from Decathlon[/B][/URL] holds 15 liters and weighs 3.5 oz/100 gm, and can be used around town in the evenings." I've carried a shoulder back across my body for hundreds of km in Asia and Oz and a bit in the UK -- I also have 2 little backpacks - 1 about ? 15 or 20 lt I think - a real one and one which is a tiny thing - a fit in your pocket one from ? decathlon from memory - I used the shoulder because of it's anti theft - it's a pacsafe -- it's a wonderful bag - but, I would not even consider it for walking distances like 20 plus Km day in day out - no way it rubs on your hip and it's just not a backpac. For my 20 to 50 k days - I use the normal day backpac - about 15/20 lt with a couple of pockets on the side for umbrella or water bottle - in Asia - I use insulated metal water bottles - in France - if I carry water in the pack - it's just a kids plastic disposable water bottle from the supermarket. I'm in Croatia atm - and, I only brought the little pocket job with me - it's about 10 lt I think - and, I've walked max 30 km with it here - but, it's been very good - considering it's like wearing pantyhose for straps and filling the bum bit with your stuff - the only things that it's really carried is my ipad to morning coffee - and, through the day - the layers as they've come off. I always wear a pacsafe bumbag - or bellybag - always - it's got my passport, wallet, iphone, that kind of thing in it -- I don't use a padlock on it - I use a little shackle - so - it's steel wired to me - and, the shackle takes ??? maybe 10 seconds or a little more to undo - and do up - it's zero fuss and you know that it's as secure as you can get. If I'm in a really crowded dodgy place - the shackle goes through at least one zip - so, one compartment is fully locked to you - you can do both compartments - but, I don't bother. the vast bulk of my transactions are done by watch - so, I never have to open a bag or reach into a pocket. anyway - I would suggest not a shoulder bag for the longer walking projects - although I've done ????? I don't know - probably way over 1000 km with one ----------- oh, there's one place it shines --- a quick draw pocket for the umbrella - if you need to deploy rapidly for a dog attack - the shoulder bag - it's top of the class there I use different bag setups, depending on which country I'm in - there's security reasons for that [/QUOTE]
