hi everyone... i am considering this 46L pack, and i would really prefer to not go up to the 58L version. i have read from several accounts that the 46L packs more than it should. might this be because osprey reports only the main compartment's volume? thanks,
ayres

I hope that Mr. Reese is kidding. A liter is a liter no matter if you fill it with lead or feathers. The feathers may pack to 1/2 liter because they are compressible, but that doesn't change what a liter is. To answer your question, I have heard this of the Exos series also and the best argument that I offer is that they do not count all the small pocket volumes in the advertised measurement. For example, the two side mesh pockets and the hip belt pockets are probably not counted in the advertised volume but they are wicked roomy!

it is because there is no certified definition of what a liter of displacement is... Is it a liter of something light? or a liter of sand? Often there are claims that some bags are more generous or less in size estimates. Hope for it, but don't count on it. If you must have a larger pack... well...
