I’m going to hike the Sheltowee Trace starting in November and I want to upgrade to a better pack. Because I reached my ideal weight before I reached my ideal height (my dumb way of saying I’m fat) I need one with a fairly large hip belt and that can hold a pretty fair amount of gear. Or at least one with replaceable hip belts so I can swap out one big enough to fit a 46” waist.

Any suggestions?
