Things I don't find important at all:
- 50-55 litres
- comfortably handles 40 pounds of gear
- one or two outside pockets to isolate tent and rain wear that might be wet from the rest of the gear in the main bag
- can fit a Bearikade Weekender bear can horizontally in main bag
- hipbelt pockets
- at least one side stretch pocket that can fit a ~800mL water bottle
- floating top pocket
- reasonably light
- ice axe attachment point
- streamlined outside so straps and pockets don't get hung up when bushwacking
Thanks for your suggestions!
- top pocket that converts to a bum bag (can never hold enough for long day trips away from camp)
- sleeping bag compartment (zipper is a point of failure for main bag and can leak when bag is set on wet ground, is really only good for sleeping bags and not multiple items so not a replacement for external pockets)
- waterproof (nothing is waterproof for long so you need pack liners or waterproof stuff sacks - cheaper to replace - anyways)
- hydration pocket / sleeve (I don't use a water bladder)
