How much do you EDC?
I ask becuase they are all a little on the big side as an EDC pack. I am not as familiar with the Kelty, but I've looked over the Condor very closely and I think it is every bit as well made but a tad smaller than the the THE Pack. My BOB is a THE Pack with one of thier SAW (holds two nalgenes perfectly) and X-4 pouches on each side, and my ditch kit (in the CountyComm bag) stuffed in the lower pocket. Still haven't gotten it perfect, probably never will, but 100 hours is a conservative estimate as to how long I can live from it except for water. And when I get around to adding a 100 ounce bladder, two days without even having to get water could be a real possibility.
Next step is to move the ditch kit onto something like a MAV, along with some water, and free up that pocket.
No, I'm not a gear nut or anything.
