Another Backpack question - longer rides

Hi, doing a 3 day ride around the North Yorkshire Moors & have a decent Vaude Backpack. However won't take a bladder.
Needs something that can pack a couple of pairs of shorts, a pair of shoes & a pair of trousers.

Anyone got any recommendations?

I've looked at the Camelbak Octane 24 but think it might be a bit small.
I'm over 6' and have quite a large head.

    I've got a fox Portage. It's massive, and with a 3litre bladder.

    Thanks Guys, I have that What Mountain Bike, but I thought 25litre was a little small for everything I wanted to through into it.

    Thanks guys, the Osprey is a little on the expensive side.

    We've had a change of plan now. One of the riders has had to pull through injjury so he's going to provide support in his car. So we don't have to carry anything now.

    I've just ordered the Oakley Toolbox...31 litres or something.

    As a ride guide I have to carry a ridiculous amount of stuff so I'm hoping this will do the job for day long epics.

    Not that it matters now!

    If you already have a bladder then you can have a look at one of these Revolution ones - made by Vaude for EBC.
