I ride the Large on my Hunqapillar and load it up with tent, sleeping bag, stove, and sleeping pad strapped on top. I ride with constant vertigo, so balance is a big issue for me and I have no problems with that setup -- and that's riding single track technical trails. The only reason I'd go with a Medium is if I didn't want a rack on my bike (I may consider that set up for a light weight bikepacking setup). As others have said, the Large does not touch the thigh, but the medium would unless you don't strap it to the seat post.
Here's the Hunqapillar with bikepacking load: https://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/9242340546/in/set-72157634546062347 With abandon, Patrick On Wednesday, May 7, 2014 5:40:41 AM UTC-6, WETH wrote: > > My experiences with the large are similar to what Chris and Scot shared. > I love the Large, though I have no experience with the Medium.
