I am looking to get into more fast packing and looking for some advice on fast packing packs.

I currently have my normal backpacking base weight down to about 10lbs and for fast packing would cut that down to about 8lbs.

I currently have a Nashville packs cutaway 40l that I love but i think it is a little too big for running. I have tried it and it bounces too much and is a little floppy because it is not close to full.

I am torn between just getting a smaller Nashville pack or looking at other brands.

Questions I have:

• what size pack are you using for fast packing?
• do you prefer the bag to be shorter than your normal torso length?
• what do you think is the most important considerations when looking at fast packs?
