Man, I can't stop laughing just thinking about it. Your a twisted man Pablo.Pablo2007 said:I mean they could have picked the "Empanada" emblem or the "Pulpo Gallego" emblem but lets face it a cooked squid hanging of your brand new high tech backpack is just not a good look.what about sandals :!: :lol: :roll:

I love my ZPack Arc Blast http://www.zpacks.com/backpacks.shtmlHi.
I have joined relatively recently and posted questions relating to accomodation in S J D P. Having sorted that one out (many thanks to all who helped me out) I am now in rucksack/backpack territory. I am currently looking at Berghaus / Lowe Alpine / Osprey - all around 35 litre capacity. My priorities would be lightweight and freeflow air circulation. Any opinions would be gratefully received.
I am finding the forum a most useful mine of information although the bed bugs info is slightly freaking me out!
Thanks in anticipation for all advice.
Regards
Prilia

Hi there,
I walked June 2014 with the Osprey Sirrus 36 litre - it was a very good choice firstly because it is designed for the female frame , so padding on hips, shoulder straps and positioning of chest strap are well placed. (They also have the male equivalent). It has a suspended frame? - anyway good for ventilation. Was tempted to go to the Osprey Tallon (slightly larger) and the guy in the camping shop was adamant that the frame on that particular backpack would not be best.
Best advice:
1. go to more than one shops, tell them which walk you are doing and what time of year.
2. use the advice from the first shop to add to your questions at the next shop - and so on... until you feel comfortable that you have the knowledge
3. decide on your shop - make a time when you know they are not busy (and even with a preferred salesperson) and get THEM to fit you and show you how to make minute adjustments with weight in pack - including the obvious - how best to put your back on
4. if you are not price sensitive - then always go to the people that help you most, you will both be rewarded.
Hope this helps as I was also a first timer and had never even contemplated a time when a backpack would get near my shoulders- let alone boots on my feet (I walked in New Balance runners)
Last thing. I loved my pack it was so light! BUT it was a tiny bit small and was a struggle to get food in - as another member has posted. If I walk again ( hoping for the Portuguese next year) I will got for a slightly larger pack.
I hope you walk is everything you dream of.
