The 55 is spec'd to 14-16kg & the 48 to 11-14kg.
Just got the 48 & may be pushing the envelope at the start of a week long October trip but well under by the end. Just watched a Messner video & been told the 48 is a bit small for a winter overnighter! Just as well mine is actually 51 due to being a L/XL. if I can't get my winter weekend kit in this bag I'll eat my candle! I was flicking through a few more Youtube video's from Exos 48 search. Bless the mrs in the next room within earshot of the TV - "Who are these people?"

Interesting. I've shed 5 kilo recently with more to go but I'm more Messner than Mo Farah!

Don't worry I'm not exactly shaped like a surfboard either (105kg and 6ft1 using l/xl exos) with a roughly 2 inch protruding belly. It works for me ok. But coming from other rucksacks with a much wider/stiffer/more hugging at the front hipbelt, it definitely isn't as comfy. But I'll take it as a hint to lose a bit more weight

I have a bit was 55 litre (supposedly 55 litre) and I tend to use it alot more than my exos.
It feels more roomy.
Big side pockets, no lid. A small front zipped pocket.
Plenty of hidden loops.
Big hip belt pockets.
I have found the biggest downfall with it is the fact it squeaks a fair bit and not very comfy on the back and shoulders.
If it was as comfy as the ex is it would be perfect.
Can't find it on my local shop website now but here's a link to it.

UOG Review - Boreas Buttermilks 55 Rucksack
I'm used to light rucksacks, even for backpacking, and I know you can get a good 60-litre pack with an internal frame and a comfortable carry around the 1kg mark (Granite Gear's Crown VC and Exped Lightning 60 are our favourite examples), so the Boreas is a bit heavier than this at 1.32Kg - the...
