Wow! that is a lot of volume. I backpack with a 45 liter pack and that is often with a bear canister of food inside. I restock food daily on tour so I need less capacity on tour. For me 45 liters would be spacious. I know not everyone wants to travel light, but that sounds like a lot. How big are your panniers?

How are you carrying the 60 liter backpack (or is it not a backpack)? Strapped in the rack? Wearing it? In a trailer?
