Hi, I need to carry a bigger backpack than most. I have medical equipment, water, and food and gear for my service dog (I don't think it's realistic to ask him to do his job and carry his gear while hiking). Which backpack do you recommend for someone who has to bring extra weight and extra space

Hi Katrina! Like we mention in the video, size requirements vary for everybody, so it's wise that you're thinking about your use-case to choose your size :-) . Check out the brands we linked above (especially the cottage companies). Almost all of the packs they offer are excellent , including the ones that are 70+ liters.

Oooh that's good to know about the lack of load straps on Hyperlite.
