What is the max load people have had in the Osprey Eja (or men’s equivalent) Pro pack? The osprey website has max load at 30pounds, which is almost 14kg, but the Paddy Palin website has it at 18kg.

I’m pretty sure that when I did Jatbula had about 15kg inc water & 6 days food and it seemed ok. I’ve had 14-15kg in it recently and it’s starting to feel uncomfortable. I’m not sure if this is because it’s just water I am carrying (padded out with blankets) so it’s carrying different compared to how it would with my gear in it. I want to be able to carry 16kg comfortably for when I do Larapinta due to the water carries required for the high camps. Not sure if I should look at other packs or not.
