It's actually only 17 liters. I can't imagine carrying my Camino gear in it.At 20l, it's unlikely to carry a lot of weight
Yes, that would be verging on minimalistic...It's actually only 17 liters. I can't imagine carrying my Camino gear in it.

Likewise thanks to previous caminos I’ve realised thatFor what you are carrying that pack should work fine and you can clip the sandals to the outside of the pack.
Most pilgrims (myself included) carry more than they need on the Camino.
I say ‘good for you ‘. This will mean you’ll be better placed to be generous on the camino… to yourself and to donativos. Much more worthy recipients than airlines.thus saving me around £120 on my return flights (bloody miserable Scots )
I spent 30 years in the fire service breaking the habit of “just in case” hasn’t been easy…on my first camino I pretty much carried a trauma pack just in caseI say ‘good for you ‘. This will mean you’ll be better placed to be generous on the camino… to yourself and to donativos. Much more worthy recipients than airlines.
Buen camino.
Ps. Hat off to you getting your weight low. It’s always difficult not to take ‘just in case’… .
My “big bag” is actually a Lowe alpine airzone trail 25 but I’m just thinking eventually the airlines will tighten the rulesI bought the 30 litre Decathlon, because I thought the 20 a bit small. The 30 fits all my Camino gear with room to spare, which is good for winter caminos.
Then I flew Ryanair ... They waved me through. So far so good
I like your aproach, but let me recomend a different pack:Likewise thanks to previous caminos I’ve realised that
1. The Camino is not a fashion show and I don’t need evening wear to get tapas and a bottle wine
2. I don’t need to carry a full trauma kit because it would seem Spain has medical supplies everywhere so this is me looking at a happy medium between minimalist 2kilo pack plus water and extravagant 8kilo pack plus water plus this bag is soft so fits Into the category of small bag for airlines thus saving me around £120 on my return flights (bloody miserable Scots ) so this may be my option and I’ve tried it on in store and it feels good on…btw the reason for the “women’s” option is I prefer the colour instead of the black “male” version
Yes, but no waistbelt = all the weight on your shoulders.I like your aproach, but let me recomend a different pack:
Rucksack Travel faltbar wasserdicht 25 Liter
Rucksack Travel faltbar wasserdicht 25 Liter null Dieser kompakte, ultraleichte und wasserdichte Rucksack ist der perfekte Begleiter für Alltag und Reisen. 24.99www.decathlon.de
- lighter
- slightly bigger
- waterproof(er)
- imho more practical
- cheaper
With a pack of 17 or 25 liters thats most likely not an issue...Yes, but no waistbelt = all the weight on your shoulders.
