That's it in 3E?Being a hiker, I'll have to disagree with those figures if you're going for what an "adventuring" pack would hold, assuming the D&D version would be designed about the same way modern backpacks are.I have two Jansport backpacks and love them, neither of which are as low as 1 cubic foot. (12" x 12" x 12" = 1728 cu in)The Jansport Rockies backpack (my RL "adventuring" backpack) has a capacity of 7000 cu in, which is almost exactly 4 cu. ft of space, and the pack weighs about 50-60 pounds fully loaded (including entrenching tool, tent stakes AND the tent, goose down sleeping bag, sleeping pad, Coleman stove, water filteration system, etc). My Jansport _bookbag_ (which I use for D&D rulebooks) has more capacity than what the PHB lists for their backpack, at 2200 cu in. Maybe the designers aren't that into hiking, or perhaps their concept of an D&D adventurers pack is different from a fully stocked backpack, with everything you need to survive contained therein. Not sure exactly if fantasy packs would go with an internal or external frame, but internal frame sure balances a lot better on your body when you're hopping across a mountain stream on moss covered stones <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
