Between the Klasden 2 and Coated 2, which backpack is more compact all around?
1429135
The Klasden 2 and the Coated 2 are essentially the same size. Both are designed to fit up to a 15" laptop. The only real difference is the actually laptop sections of the backpack. The Klasden is designed to be more suited in fitting the a 13". The Coated 2 is more suited for a 15". I believe the technical specs will show that the Coated 2 is slightly bigger overall, but not by much.

I also carry Springfield XD, a smaller 45. I like the way it carries, much less noticeable, just a 'regular looking' pack. a couple smaller compartments that easily carry wallet keys ect. I personally would go for this pack over the smaller, not that packed tight look.

this one will not (atlest prtected) Klein has released the http://www.amazon.com/Klein-55456BPL-Tradesman-Tech-Backpack/dp/B00G0KQKLC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1385040246&sr=8-3&keywords=klein+tech+bag that has a laptop pocket in sacrifice for tool space but they also have a tech line in the Tradesmen now

I responded to Amazon about the ILBE once before. I ordered the ILBE about a year and a half ago and LOVE the backpack as it's extremely durable for the work I use it for. My PROBLEM with the ILBE is that my ruck arrive OCONUS AFGHANISTAN WITHOUT rucksack straps. I had to cannibalize an older SNUGPACK rucksack so that I could use the ILBE. FIX THAT PROBLEM and we'll be square, otherwise I'm still a bit pissed.7lbs empty, a lot more when I travel.

I think case logic DCB-309 will look small on you. The DCB-309 is enough for normal size people up to 5.8" tall with 80kg. So I suggest you to stop by at case logic store or its affiliate in your town and try it yourself. or try to compare the dimension of case logic DCB-309 (Size 17.3 x 8.4 x 11.4 in) vs your current backpacks. Good luck big guy!

Hi, the back compartment can probably fit in 2 normal size burger. The side pocket are more for your energy gels/ bar and money. however if you need to pack more stuff like your bicycle tools, rain jacket etc you should check out camelbak mule or camelbak mule NV which i think is more popular with mountain bikers due to the large capacity storage of 9 liters/ 12 liters.

You have more than enough room in large pack. I don't havea smaller oneto compare it to. So if your going to carry a lot of stuff id say large is way to go.

I really like the 286 because of the price and how small it is. I know the other ones are pretty bulky. This is my second one. The first one lasted for 15 years. I can't say what the best selling model is, but as far as price goes, the 286 is very sturdy and one can fold it up and put it in a corner.

Depends how minimalist you are going on this trip. I use the explorer4000 for anything longer than 3 days. The summit for me is really only good for day trips and climbing 14ers. If you are carrying an average size backpacking tent and sleeping bag I would definitely recommend getting a larger bag.

Go with the 17. Will have plenty of room, plus some for other misc items and still not feel bulky

I really like the Osprey Reservoir and it has heald up well in multiple backpacking situations for me. I have the 2.5 L for my 45L Osprey pack and that is the most that I think I could fit in that pack. I would say try either the 2 L for your 22 L pack if you want the biggest that might fit or the 1.5 L likely would for sure fit. If to big, you should be able to return or just not fill it completely full likely would work too.

It depends on whether you like larger size backpacks on your back. I am 5'1" and I love larger backpacks. If not, then go with the 25L one.

One will fit but it'll take up almost the whole pocket. I would probably look at one of the other bags for that. The veto or klein backpack would probably be better.
