36 crates 1 . 15 . 20 for your certified lime lightnings <| sep |> no , sorry <| sep |> getting to the bottom and finding biscuit sludge in it . <| sep |> I would say go for the 26 L , especially since you ' re 6 ' 2 . Even for an ultralight packer , having that extra space gives you more flexibility . For example , you can fit an Eagle Creek PackIt Garmet Sleeve a minimalist suit bag in a 26 L , but it ' s too long for a 21 L , which would make it harder to travel with a blazersuit for work trips . The 26 L will also take an extra pair of shoes or a DSLR , plus everything you need for a 35 day trip again , if you pack super light , which it sound like you do . The 26 L definitely doesn ' t look bulky . My girlfriend is 5 ' 8 and she carries her 26 L every day , plus for week long trips .
