    Comments about High Sierra Explorer 55 Frame Pack:

    Great bag.There's so many features its a little confusing, especially when packing up on solo trips.Wish there were more outer pockets,but I'm a minimalist so it's no big deal.The rain bag is a great addition,and the cell phone holder could be overkill for some.Good thing it's removable.But I'm glad I got this!

      Comments about High Sierra Explorer 55 Frame Pack:

      If you plan to go for weeks at a time, you might want the next size up, however if you pack light, this will still do just fine! Especially perfect if you usually plan one week trips.

          About 3350 cu in. To convert Liters to cubic inches multiply Liters x 61.0237. Here's how...

          55L x 61.0237 = 3356.3035
