it's kind of a matter of scale. I do big trips, almost exclusively, and I am pretty tall, carry a 95 liter or 105 liter pack. In my packs, the Expedition fits just fine, and once I even carried the Expedition PLUS a BV500 Bearvault, although that got a little top heavy.

I'll be out in October again with the Expedition, one resupply on a late season JMT hike with a few off trail adventures. It'll barely hold the food I need for the southern stretch beyond VVR, and I am considering to bring my two Weekenders instead.
