For reference (I use Ortlieb Packer Pluses and Packers) the Large carries 33 l stuffed but not violated, the M 23 l ditto, and the flap 'n' strap arrangements would probably allow at least 30% more for properly packaged items. A pair of Packer Pluses carries 50 l, and the smaller front Packers with extensions about 30 l the pair. Actually, I wonder about the last figure, because my experience with the smaller fronts is that as a pair it is hard to get more than I got into the Medium -- absolute volume is not the same thing as usable space. Overall, I'm confident that, for groceries at least if not peanuts or compressible clothing, the S-M easily holds as much as one fully extended and stuffed Ortlieb Packer Plus.
I will add that, having recently owned a Hoss, the Medium tho' smaller (26 vs 23) provides at least as much usable room, perhaps because it is easier to load without things falling out. It certainly has more usable carrying room than a Camper Longflap at 24 l. Given that the Green Riv doesn't really like rear loads over 25 lb, the M ought to be just right. (Odd, since I've had lighter frames that could easily handle 15 lb more.) On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 11:14 PM, allenmichael <[email protected]> wrote: > looks great.
