Winter Day Pack/Overnight Pack Questions

Hello everyone,

Anyone using their 55 liter weekend backpacking pack "double duty" as their winter day pack?

Seems like overkill but mine (Durston Kakwa 55 or HMG Southwest 55) only weigh like 2lbs. Between extra layers, an emergency 10* quilt or thermal blanket, spikes, snowshoes, I have no problem using the volume.

Any other smaller (40-50 liter) pack options that have good external lashing options as well as Y straps on top? If made with Dyneema or water resistant ultra fabric even better..
