I've been a serious slacker about not getting a BOB put together. Now that my wife is pregnant I'm going to need a bag for "the big day", so I figure it can also be the family BOB.
I want it to be a backpack so I can carry it easily. Around 40 liters (2440 cubic inches) is a good size. I already have a nice Lowe Alpine 40l but it's not setup like I want for a BOB. I'd like it to have a big main cargo compartment and a good multi-pocket organizing area under a flap. I want a bit of an internal frame, at least a rigid backsheet. It needs to fit tall people. It needs to be high quality, mountaineering worthy. No canvas or other heavy materials. The Maxpedition stuff all looks a bit awkward fitting compared to modern backpacking packs.
Thanks for any suggestions!
