Looking at this pack for an overnight summer trail running trip and curious how much I could fit in this bag as well as how cumbersome it would be. I'm not sure exactly what gear I'll be taking yet , but assume minimal as possible: bivy sack or small sleeping bag, few energy bars, light/packable jacket, spare socks. Also hoping to do some fly fishing on the trip, so will likely strap a 4 piece pole to the outside and have a small fly box and reel in the pack. Any thoughts on if this pack can hold?

You are welcome Pete. I would look at the Osprey Manta 30 which will give you a little more room but still not be so big it is bulky. It might be a little much for trail running but I have heard of people wearing them. http://www.backcountry.com/osprey-packs-manta-30-hydration-pack-1600-1800cu-in

Thanks Mike. I think this is biggest Raptor Osprey offers. For trail running, looking for a pack/hip belt I can snug up pretty tight. Also want a pack that I can snug the bladder pretty well. Any reco's on an alternate? Maybe an Osprey Manta 35 or Gregory Z30 or BD Nitro are others I was looking at.

Pete, in my opinion this pack is not going to hold everything you need for an overnighter along with a full water hydration pack. You might want to step up in size or add your own hydration bladder to another style pack.
