Hi,

I have an Opsrey Aura 50 for sale that my sister used for one Swiss hut-to-hut trek. Although only slightly larger in capacity than your current model, Osprey usually underestimate their rucksack capacities. If interested it is on sale on amazon at £82.50. Just search under items sold by thehikingdoctor.

Happy hunting!

The Montane Grand Tour 70 is slightly heavier, stripped down, but it has two, what I call integrated, pockets plus four pouches round the belt, which gives it a slim-line feel - ie no pockets protruding. If the contents of the pack feel loose, the various straps tighten up the load to make it firm on your back. You can bung all your kit in and not worry about lack of space.
The Moroccan blue model is very appealing.

I bought the 'new' Osprey Exos58 earlier this year, it was to replace the older one I still have. It's a long story, briefly Osprey weren't able to tell me where I could try one for size so I bought the Large size - MUCH too big.

The newer model fits me nicely (medium size) and is comfortable. Sadly it's nowhere near as user friendly / ergonomically well thought out than the old version.

If you fancy a beer I can drive over or we can meet up and you can look at both, side by side.

I would love to be able to buy an older model Exos58 of the right size but it ain't going to happen.

Hi John, I have the old exos 58 in medium, if you're interested in a swap deal of some variety ?
Rod.
