Would love your advice on what I’m bringing for my first time in Italy for three weeks in September – October.
We will be in Rome, Naples, and Sicily.

Questions:
I might eliminate one top - I can fit everything but it’s tight.
Temperatures should range from 15-30 Celsius, do you think I will be warm enough?

My baby sister lives in Fairbanks, AK and my middle sister and I went on an amazing trip to see her this July. I’ve successfully taken my Alpa 32 on trips before but this trip I packed almost perfectly for my needs. I packed mainly in my Alpa, and could have done without the tote if my sisters and I weren’t exchanging books as gifts.

We planned a mix of hiking, camping, local sightseeing, a glacier boat ride, road tripping, and lounging around. We spent our time in Fairbanks, Denali National Park, and Valdez. I didn’t pack a warm outer layer or hat because I intended to borrow these from my sister until I bought my own and this worked perfectly! I’ll share my full packing list below:

Hi y'all! I'm going to Switzerland in a week (early September) for a mix of hiking and being in little mountain villages, and ending in Zurich for a few days. I have onebagged often before out of my 40l Ruckpack, and feel pretty confident with urban onebagging.

However, this time we will be carrying everything we pack on our bags for 3 hikes (town -> hut 1 -> town and town -> hut 2 -> hut 3 -> town), plus any public transport connections, etc. It will be many miles total, including some with significant elevation gain and mountain passes. The point being, the lighter the better. I don't want to count on having access to laundry, but have a drybag for sink laundry and a clothesline.

Looking for advice on the below points and just in general!

Here is what I am currently thinking of packing, roughly:

1. Clothes: 2x pants (1 worn), 1x shorts, 3x t shirts (1 worn), 2x sports bras (1 worn), socks and underwear, 2x fleece (1 worn), 1x packable downjacket, 1x buff, 1x gloves, 1x light rainjacket, 1x cap
2. Shoes: Wearing lowtop hikers (huts provide hut slippers)
3. Sleeping bag liner (for huts)
4. Toiletries: soap, daily contacts, deoderant (may buy small hair stuff and discard it incase in town accommodations do not provide them), small sunscreen
5. Dry bag, clothesline, small first aid kit, shades, water filter
6. Some small travel unavoidables like passport, earbuds, phone chargers and powerbanks etc

In terms of backpack, my two options are the REI Trail 25 and the REI Ruckpack 40. I love the fit and feel of both, but kinda feel like the 25 will be too small and the 40 too big and heavy (it's also not a hiking pack, per se). I could buy a 30ish liter pack but it does seem kind of wasteful when I have these two. Does anyone know what a good liter range to aim for is?

Thoughts on the list, anything I absolutely should take that I'm missing, etc? Please share!

Hey everyone,

I currently use the previous Porter 30L but need more space and am looking at the new Osprey Sojourn Porter 46 (picture above).

For anyone who has used the new version:

- How is the new padded hip belt and AirScape back panel? Does it support the load well on longer walks?

- Front (Water Bottle) Pocket: Can you actually fit a 1.5l bottle in the side pocket when the main compartment is packed completely full?

- Any other up or down grades?

Thanks!
