Black Wolf Bladerunner Questions & Answers

80/20 was fine for me for 5 weeks in South America. Best test is get your gear together and see how bulky it is and how big a bag you need.

Its the capacity in litres....60 l expanding to 80

Thank you, that's a start. Given that most holiday makers would be packing approximately 20 - 25kg of much the same clothing and a couple pairs of shoes, would that fit into a 60 + 20 size bag? Its no good me buying a bag that holds only about 15kg of clothing and meantime I can't relate 60+20 into kgs. Genuine buyer.

I have a 60 + 20. Thats in litres I think. Anyway when packed and the expansion "closed", that is 60 litres it weighs about 16 or 17 kg. Thats with a spare pair of shoes. I learned long ago that packing light pays off. My wife has a 80 + 20 and its a much bigger bag, but she does not need the expansion to bring it to 100. Her bag tends to weigh about 21 to 22 kg. We have found that often domestic flights have a 20kg limit and we can usually get by OK. I think 60 + 20 would hold 21 to 22 kg if the expansion was open. Hope this helps.

Ken61, thankyou for your very practical reply, it's just what I needed. Muchly appreciated.

My wife and I have hired two cars in the UK on extended driving holidays. Both were VW golf diesel. The first time we had Bladerunners 60/20 and 80/20. It was a struggle to get both bags in the boot. The 60 fit in lengthways and the 80 was sort of diagonal in the space left, still OK when we figured it out. But a bit of a squeeze. The bags are a bit flexible as well. The second holiday we also hired a Golf and this trip we had 2 60/20 bladerunners. They fitted in side by side no problem, with enough room for smaller bags like a small backpack. We always bring a bit more home than we leave with so depending on your destination, pack light. e.g Clothes are usually cheaper OS than in Australia. There is always the expansion if needed as well.

Thanks Ken, still deciding between the 60/20 and the 80/20
