Hi Thor.<br><br>The Backpacker range has served my family well for quite a while now (i manage to squash 5 days worth of kit into a 50l "scout" mode)l. the only packs that i've come across (in S.A.) that have a detachable daypack seem to be the "Travel"-type packs. these usually open horazontily, and I find them irratating to work with.<br><br>Just out of interest, where are you planning on going?
