CLARIFY BAG SIZE INTO THE GAMES PLEASE

[POLLDARK]

Re the bag sizes. What do they mean exactly by a MEDIUM size handbag or a SMALL back pack. I want to get it right & not have my bag confiscated. How are they defining MEDIUM or SMALL in these cases. Anyone know?. We all know that medium & small varies, far from a good guide. Help please.

I'm taking my rucksack which meets their 25L max requirement.

It's this sort of size: http://www.aktive8.com/Brand-Direct...tm_source=froogle&utm_medium=price+comparison

And can squish down quite well. Their requirements are quite similar to hand luggage type really.

Its 25 litres maximum and must be able to fit under the seat - that is what it says in the info I had with my ticket anyway!

"One soft-sided bag is allowed per person – for
example, a medium-sized handbag or small backpack
(maximum 25 litres)."

This is from the equestrian spectator guide

I know this sounds stupid but I have a rucksack that looks about that size so how do I tell the litre size of it please. Sorry to be dim.

Should say on an inside label

Many thanks for all the info, thanks Teapot. I will have a look. Duh !

Went to a local sports shop as they had a variety of sizes in back packs. No capacity info on any, though Nike usefully stated 'BIG' !!!!The assistant had to go online to find out capacities & said no one had ever asked before. How you come off with sizing a' medium' handbag I dread to think.

All outdoor shops sell them in litres, I guess the sport shops have a different customer in mind!
