Lundhags V8 vs V8 spirit vs V12 as a first backpack

[volodymyrp]

Hi,

first, please excuse me for English, I have just recently started learning Swedish.

I am currently looking for a first backpack for our first "real" hike. We're going to go to norwegian fjords soon and we'll combine staying in cabins and in tents.

I am thinking about 60L volume. Would it would be enough to start with? We will not be going for longer than 1 night and we will be 4 people.

I am planning to continue hiking after that trip, so I'm looking more for quality than for cheap price.

I have tried a few models now: Haglöfs Röse 60, Fjällräven Friluft 60, The north face terra 65, Haglöfs nejd 65 and Lundhags V8 Spirit 60.

We have quite good deals for Haglöfs and Lundhags models. Lundhags seems to be the most appropriate for me, since Haglöfs models press too hard in the lowest part in the middle. Seems that the bottom end of the Haglöfs backpacks end too low for me.

Lundhags V8 Spirit seems to be much better there.

The price for Lundhags V8 Spirit 60 in xxl is 2199.
I also found a V12 on sale now for just 1499 with ordinary price being 2999.

I could not find any information about them in English, could anyone help me with a few questions:

What is the difference of the Spirit model (V8 vs V8 Spirit)?
Is the V8 60+10 the same if I buy V8 60 and V+10 separately?
Is there too much difference in V8 Spirit 60 and V12 60?

Thanks in advance

Yes 60l will work if you are not carrying a big tent for 4 people, but you have to see how much room your sleeping bag and sleeping mat are taking. Tents can be divided to different backpacks and sleeping mats can be carried outside the bag if you want to do so.

The "spirit" is lundhags name for the women models. The backlength, hipbelt and shoulderstraps have a different design that is ment to fit the female body better. But as in everything else, people are different so it is not forbidden for man to have the spirit model if it fits better and bice versa...

Thanks for the answers.

I probably like the fact that it's a shorter version of the backpack.

Do you think the V12 60L has the same fit as V8 Spirit 60L?

Here, http://www.lundhags.com/Products/Backpacks/Trekking-Packs/V12-60/(color)/900#info, Lundhags calls it a women model as well.
