OM,
Good call on that clarification. I've owned the Crown for a season and have beaten it up quite a bit. Got a sweet deal when I purchased the pack, and knew that at 60L, I was going to fit a bear can in somehow. I believe you can fit a Garcia sideways in it if my memory serves me. At the moment, my gear allows for a comfortable vertical stack with a Bear Vault. I'm happy with the Crown. smile
