It's now also the norm here for rucksacks/haversacks etc. to be expressed in litres. Has that caught on in the US yet? (I assume it's normal elsewhere.)
5 years ago when I bought my pack, it was expressed in liters. It even has it printed on the back, course it is a Lafuma (French) pack.
The store though seemed to sell packs in liters quite frequently though.
