Yes, 36 L should be plenty of space, especially since you are not a large person.hallo,
I orderded both to exercise with weight. They both fit Well and are very light.
Should 36l has enough space for the Camino Frances in may? Doubting between these twoThanks!!!
Thanks , I keep the 36 l. Have been walking about 10 km this afternoon with Some clothes etc in, about 6 kg. I am glad with my new backpackThe bigger the liters, the bigger the amount of stuff you'll be tempted to stuff in
A great advise is to take the fear to lack of [...] out of the 50L one... and 36L may become way enough!
What is certain is that whichever you chose, the 36L will be too big by the time you'll reach Santiago
Buen Camino!
I used a deuter 43 and it was perfect and it fits in the overhead compartment, big plus for me-i don't check bags !hallo,

Perfect insight would, indeed, be a wonderful thing, and there is a group of people that come close to that by only carrying what they need for the coming day. And it is not particularly difficult, although perhaps it might be a little more expensive, and attract the opprobrium of some of the more doctrinaire advocates of what it means to be a 'true pilgrim'. It is to pack what is needed for the climate, but not needed for the weather on a particular day, into a bag that is forwarded to your next destination.On the last time I did the CF this past summer (July-August) I could have easily comfortably walked it with a backpack under 30L. Because my crystal ball was broken I did not know I would have zero rain (scratch rain jacket and pack cover). I did not know it would be unseasonably warm, oh hell just plain hot (scratch fleece pullover and long sleeve tech shirt).
Those few items eliminated would have made quite a difference in the overall size and weight of my pack. In retrospect I could have walked it carrying only a pair of convertible pants, a pair of shorts, a couple of tech shirts and my sleeping bag liner, along with toiletries, cap, etc of course.
Mine is a Osprey Talon 33, it was big enoughwhen I walked from Pamplona to SdC in July 2015. But it's important that the pack you choose, fits your body!

@inmari, @steveo, and @Debora, I presume that you are not saying that just because you walked with a pack of a certain capacity, someone substantially larger or smaller than you would need a pack of the same size.I walked from SJPDP to Santiago in May 2016 and I used a 36L and it was perfect for me.
That's true, but my point is that the adequacy of the capacity of any pack is going to be dependent on several factors, key amongst them the walking weight of the user. @Yellowfriend has no way of knowing what your relative walking weights might be, and whether she is getting advice from someone roughly the same size as her, larger or smaller. If she did know that, she would then be able to extrapolate your advice to her circumstances. Right now, that cannot be done.Yellowfriend indicated they both fit well and was asking about the "space" using a 36L.
Last Camino with my daypack Vaude 20 l I hung my boots under at my backpack and that went Well with walking.My advice is to make sure you can fit your hiking boots *in* your pack too.
I had bad blisters and ended up walking some days in my Teva sandals to give my feet a break. I had a 36L pack and it was stressful trying to fit my boots in there too. I walked again last month with a 44L pack and it was so much more relaxed each morning packing my bag knowing I could easily get things out and in without it being a military operation.
Thanks for the respons!Hi
I walked CF this year in May/June. Before walking I had similar debate between Ospey Sirius 24L or 36L. I decided on 24L which required attaching my sleeping bag externally to bottom but kept pack weight down nicely. A smaller pack does require good organization to keep everything inside but didn't bother me.
36L should give you plenty of space.
Enjoy!
As I said, it's important that the pack fits the body!@inmari, @steveo, and @Debora, I presume that you are not saying that just because you walked with a pack of a certain capacity, someone substantially larger or smaller than you would need a pack of the same size.
While there are other factors, pack size requirements are linearly related to the individual's body mass. Telling us your pack size without also telling us what your walking body weight was doesn't give enough information for someone to make a valid extrapolation of that for the person trying to figure out how big a pack to carry.
I don't disagree, but that wasn't the point that I was making. There is a big difference between the size of pack one might need based on body mass, how much you are prepared to look like a Xmas tree and carry stuff outside your pack etc. The attached images are two examples from my recent camino.As I said, it's important that the pack fits the body!
