At this price I pulled the trigger on the 55L women's small. My current shoulder season pack, a Thule Capstone 50L is similar in that is has the "trampoline" venting (which I love the feel of) but it has a serious limitation in that I can't fit the most commonly rented bear canister in it. The trampoline venting makes an S shape to the pack somewhat. I actually had to slightly reroute a trip away from the ADK high peaks area last year because of this - but didn't want to buy a pack that weighed MORE than the 47 ounces my current pack weight. Naturally when I saw these and the Osprey Eja come out I was excited.
I looked at many reviews and it doesn't look like I will have any bear canister problems with this pack...some of the reviews here note a BV 500 can fit horizontally in the 58L version. Should be the same in the size S - 55L version right? But I would feel a bunch better if someone could confirm.

ChrisinQueensMost bear cannisters dont fit or take up too much pack. I just strap mine on the bottom when i have to take one along. In saying that im lucky at 6 foot i just use the mens packs so they tend to have more room.

ChrisinQueensI bet if you call Gregory they could tell you. I sure hope it works for you. I love my 58L!

Ant696Someone on one of the UL forums told me they use a BV 500 fine with this pack both vertically and horizontally. So I'm super excited to take this pack to bear country now! Lol
I'm going on a trip to Canada to bear country and they don't require cans but I may bring one just for peace of mind. Now that I can!
