One pack to rule them all!
Well done!!
I’ve always used ULA packs and still love them. Decided to try the unbound 40 since it had several features I liked from other packs. Took it out for my first trip on a ~25 mile loop in the Linville Gorge. Pack held ~20#s comfortably. Loved the large side pockets and back pocket similar to my ULA packs and bottom pocket. Never worried about the rain with this pack. All contents stayed dry for me in there stuff sacks. Perfect pack for 3-5 days. Excited to get back out with it.
I bought it to use on the Camino de Santiago.
I’ve been caring it fully loaded all day hikes to shake down all my gear for the Camino. The pack is wonderful. I plan to put my tour guide in the bottom bag for easy access. So far I haven’t gotten it wet in the rain, but I’m sure it’ll be fine there too. It took me up a few hours to get the voice belt and shoulder strap combination worked out just right but now it carries effortlessly. 40 L will be more than enough for me to carry on to take to the Camino. I’ll be interested in seeing how things work at the airport, but it should fit their size constraints from the get-go. I was convinced this pack was bombproof and so far I’m not taking that back.
Best backpack ever
40L size is very flexible for multiple purpose, different destination, any season.
It is quite big enough, but also can roll down to compactly for light explore.
And surrounded by daisy-chain are awesome for your own customizes.

So far I really like the pack but need to trail test it. I changed the hip belt to the unbound belt as I like the tensioning system better.
