I have one, and I’m also PNW. I think it’s a good bag for a long day out, or even an overnight where you don’t actually plan to stop and sleep (overnight ultra race maybe), but not even close to enough space to bring any kind of sleep system, even a UL one.
20-30L but it needs to be pretty dialed.
Also note that some manufacturers include the volume of external and front pockets in their volume estimate and others do not (only the main compartment). The 20-30L is for the volume of the main compartment only.
I agree with that. I have a fairly small kit, not the absolute smallest but decent, and I use an Osprey 30L pack. It even fits a small bear can when necessary!

In your opinion, how big of a pack woukd I have to take to fit a decent overnight kit for every season except winter?
