5 Stef
[ I got this pack for longer day hikes, and specifically for an upcoming trip. Have n't used it for said trip yet, but have used it on local hikes to get a good feel for it and it checks all my boxes. It's uncomplicated( just one main compartment with some exterior storage) and I love the padded hipbelt. Also like the fact that there's compatibility for a water bladder. The side pockets stretch enough to accommodate the large nalgene, and there's a small zipper compartment at top for keys, wallet, etc.

5 Oilcan
[ If you 're buying backpacks, Osprey is without a doubt one of the best brands. I currently own at least 5 packs of different sizes for trekking, day hiking and traveling. Osprey incorporates every detail one could want and backs up their work with a great warranty. Look no further!!

5 Amy
I hiked across Spain for 500 miles over 35 days carrying this pack. I had NO issues and it was so comfortable. I carried about 13- 15 lbs with a water bladder. Only wish the water bladder nozzle had a cover as every time I set the pack down my nozzle touched the ground- good for my immune system! I just feel so grateful for my pack. One of your sales people on the phone recommended it after I tried several other models and sizes. Could n't be happier. One of the zippers broke before my trip but it was n't key. I will call regarding this. Otherwise- highly recommend this pack. So light, so comfy, so kind to my body after a long haul. Thank you.

Love the color, style and comfort. I thought for the amount of money it cost in which it was 99. 00 that it should 've had a little wider compartments, however it has other amenities that helped with space. Overall I still give this back pack/ book sack a 5 star!!

Great bag. Good quality. Works well. I use it for kayaking and everything in it stays dry. Only complaint is that for the amount of money you pay, the seams could be cut and put together a lot cleaner. Mine has been 100% waterproof I would just like a little more eye appeal since it's very expensive. Worth the money otherwise. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

His bag holds his lap top, 3 small binders, a couple of books and a lunch bag quite well. And so far, we are very happy with the quality. I know this bag is bigger and therefore a more expensive, but it has been worth it, plus I am hoping this bag will last more than one school year.

I love my Big Agnes 32L pack for long trips abroad but sometimes you need a smaller pack for hikes, light travel, etc. This Osprey fills the bill and I am very impressed with the design. They are well known for the quality and it is obvious in this pack.

5 Glicker
This is my first day pack with internal frame. It makes it very comfortable to wear, balancing the weight down onto my hips( even unbelted and even wearing it on one shoulder) and the frame with mesh back keeps my back cooler even in 93 degree humid weather. The pockets are n't ideal. The top front pocket is very small( and if you put a heavy phone there it is unbalanced). The internal( water or laptop) pocket is deep- so anything small put in there is lost to posterity( beware). The water bottle pockets on the side fit a smaller water bottle easily but tougher with anything larger. I used it as a carry on( personal item) and no complaints from the flight attendants about how it fit under the seat in front of me, though the top did stick out a little and I found it to be a bit in the way of stretching my lets. It fit a ton of stuff- I had an umbrella and rain jacket, wallet, cosmetic size bag with electronic cables and earbuds, cosmetic bag with actual cosmetics, book, magazine, two journals, an airport shopping bag( small), and small cosmetic bag with meds in there. There is a helpful clip to attach your neck pillow! It also has a rain cover in a pouch at the bottom that was very useful in a downpour, if a little hard to extract and put in place on the fly.

5 JJyong
I ’ ve been using this backpack for a while now and I have to say, one of its great features is the smart design that balances comfort and functionality. The padded shoulder straps make it really comfortable to carry, even when it ’s fully loaded. I also love the multiple compartments — it ’s easy to keep everything organized, from my laptop to small accessories. The material feels durable and water- resistant, so I don ’ t have to worry about sudden rain. Overall, it ’s a stylish, practical, and reliable backpack that works perfectly for both daily use and travel.

5 Esteban55
I bought this item a few months back for my girlfriend. She loved the light purple color I chose as well as how comfortable it was. So far she has enjoyed it on multiple day hikes and loves how simple the organization is as well as the support while loaded up with layers, lunch, first aid kit, etc. She especially loved the ability to add her trekking poles to her pack while not in use and overall is happy with her Osprey Hikelite pack.

5 Mr Soly
I am a 35 years old nomad, and I 've been a nomad since my childhood( thank you, mom and dad!). So you can imagine that I ’ ve gone through my fair share of travel gear. But five years ago, I made the switch to this backpack, and let me tell you: it changed the game!! This isn ’ t just a bag; it ’s my life in carry- on form. We ’ re talking everything: clothes, two laptops, cameras, wires, other electronics, toiletries, you name it... I even managed to attach a tripod and camping tent on the front face for a while.( Who even designs something that versatile? Genius!!!) I am not the most careful person with my belongings, so backpack has seen it all. I ’ ve flown on airlines across every continent, and not once did it get issues using it as a carry- on. Okay, there was that one tiny plane where it wouldn ’ t fit in the overhead bin. But I found an easy solution: I pulled out my laptops, slid this backpack under the seat, and we were good to go.( Sure, the flight was cramped, but blame the plane, not the backpack 😂) It ’s not just about the space, though. This bag is comfy to carry for hours, perfectly balanced, with multiple carrying options and a sternum strap that ’s somehow both lightweight and super durable. And yes, it ’s heavier than my previous bags. But I ca n't complain, because it ’s built to last. Five years of travel( and trust me, my trips are not gentle), and it still looks like I just bought it. No scratches, no tears, not much wear( you can see it in the pic, although the backpack was super dirty on one of those pics lol). And I loooove the water resistance. This thing has survived downpours that left me drenched while my gear stayed dry. Mind you, I have my stuff inside plastic bags inside my backpack, just in case. But the last few times, nothing inside got wet anyway. I haven ’ t tested it recently, and I know that the water resistance may decrease over the years... but from my past experiences, it ’s never let me down.( I ’ ll update this review if that ever changes) If you ’ re on the fence because of the price, but you are looking for something to use for years, let me save you some time: just get it. After five years, I can ’ t imagine using another backpack. It ’s my ultimate travel companion, and if ever it breaks, I would buy another one for sure. I hope this helps someone!!!

5 BaltimoreBeaver
[ I bought this backpack to use in a Scouting Troop and it was a huge success. It is perfectly sized for a weekend backpacking trip( 3 days) which we used on the Appalachian Train. It is really comfortable- like having a pillow on your back- and I have a `` shotty '' back. The weight is evenly distributed through the hip pads. I got the XL size because I am 6' 3 and 275 pounds and it fits great. There are a lot of cool features too and as an added bonus it comes with a raincover too. I am thinking about getting another Osprey soon- a larger one. Seriously, this is a great pack and they have a great warranty too- lifetime.

I was able to pack all my camping gear and food for five days. My hunt was successful and I was even able to pack out my unicorn head for the taxidermist. I ’ d recommend this pack to anyone looking for a tough reliable pack.

My old daypack( unknown brand- cheap) had to retire after 5 years of heavy use. I hope this osprey holds up longer, I was told it was the best brand.

This is exactly what I wanted out of a small backpack. Minimal pockets, but enough for what you need for a day out. Works great for work/commuting/gym/carryon. I mainly carry my bottle, an iPad, and a couple wires. Sometimes throw an extra shirt in there too if I ’ m going to the gym. If you ’ re using it for more than a day, I would go bigger, BUT for an everyday bag, this is perfect.

5 Kristopher Quintero
I am a college student, fisherman, and mountain biker. I can now say I 've used this bag for all these activities and it's perfect. The removable compression and chest straps are awesome because I can adjust the bag to my use of the day. For a 22L bag it feels VERY roomy to me. I love the flip pocket because it holds the main compartment of the bag open at all times when it's flipped open. The bag holds all my gear for these activities perfectly. Great bag for a Day Trip!

5 Eclec
This is a great bag. Although it doesn ’ t have a dedicated laptop pocket, my computer is really easy toe grab from the main compartment. For some people, it might not have enough organization, but it has more room when you needed. I have other bag that has ton of organization, but it just can not fit a lot of stuff. The side handles are incredible, you will wish every bag includes that. I really love it and recommend it!

5 Fellix
The bag gets a lot of bag reviews for being small, but that ’s why I like it. It ’s a great bag for a day hike where all one needs is a hoodie, water, sunscreen, battery pack, and other small necessities. It ’s gone on quite a few day hikes with me and works great. Not so big that there ’s a ton of extra room and weight, but just right for the day. I do wish the zipper opened it up a little more, but other than that I love the bag.

5 Texan 77494
i wanted a small bag and thats what i have got when it was delivered. No surprises. The capacity is listed in the item details and specs. Different sized bags are for different needs. i did not want to a full load on my back, hence, i went with the smaller bag, and if i need more space, i use a separate hand carry bag like a tote or a small duffel. the key is weight distribution. so it is what it is. a very solid, well constructed with waterproof or resistance capability. The side zip for rambler bottle is great, and also love the other side zip for access into the backpack. overall very satisfied.

Nice sized backpack with quality construction. Big enough for medium trips without being too big. Lots of pockets for storage. Nicely padded straps. Perfect for flights or medium length backpacking.

5 Jstan2700
This backpack is very big and sturdy and it can definitely hold a lot of whatever you need. I like that is has additional smaller pockets on the handles and straps to keep small things like wallets, cash, or cards dry and separate from the rest of the items you 're holding. the arm and waist straps are seemingly strong and easy to adjust to proper fit, and they hold the pack in place very securely. It's also nice looking and the easy to remove/attach waterproof cover is an additional plus.

5 Kasey
This is a lightweight backpack that I feel is a good balance of capacity and comfort. Lightweight but durable fabric. It has buckles that can keep the backpack more compact, or unclipped, can expand to the full size. Has many pockets and comes with a rain shield in a bottom pocket to cover the whole backpack in the rain. The chest and waist clips to secure the backpack are comfortable too. This backpack also has a central zipper down the middle which would help you reach anything inside easily, even in the bottom of the pack.

This pack is the perfect trail companion! I 've gotten to take it out both XC skiing and on some winter hikes and it's the perfect size for an extra layer, snacks, first aid kit, and any other gear you might need on the trail. I love the magnet strip on the water bladder that nicely holds the bladder straw in space when not using it, and easy to drink out of while on the trail. The pockets are well thought out and easily accessible. I do wish the side water bottle pockets were a little larger to fit my nalgene, but definitely not a dealbreaker since it has the integrated bladder.

5 Madwild
As a smaller sized gal, I 've struggled with daypacks feeling too big and bulky. The 18L was my goldilocks and is such a great size for a casual hike or wandering around town! There are not a lot of pockets, but I actually prefer a simple pack. My favorite part of the pack is the chest and hip straps that make the bag easily adjustable.

High quality and dependable.

4 GR
I have n't used this pack but it looks great, with excellent materials, pockets and overall construction. It also seems to tick most boxes for ultra runners who may be doing multi- day events requiring a lot of mandatory gear. Some runners may question the design choice of having only one side of the vest strap capable of carrying a 500ml soft flask. Perhaps this is the preferred option for fastpacking but having capacity for two soft flasks in addition to two zippered pockets on either side like the BD Distance 15 pack would be ideal, at least for ultra runners.

4 Jean-Luc B.
As an ultralight Backpacker, I leave my honest review here. First, I have to say that I was excited when I got this backpack; the fabrics and the implementation are outstanding excellent job Black Diamond. The fast backpack idea with those extra shoulder straps makes this backpack ideal. Not only is this one waterproof or almost, but it is merely one of the best backpacks I ever owned. Believe it or not, I have tried several UL backpacks in my career. The only downside I see is that the shoulder pocket with the zipper is too tiny to hold a standard- sized cell phone comfortably. If I had a bigger one, I could guarantee it would never fit inside.

I bought the Away Everywhere Zip Backpack for work, but it quickly became my go- to travel companion too. It's sleek and stylish enough for the office, but super functional on the go. I recently took it with me to Thailand and was so impressed with how well it held up. One of my favorite features is that the zippers go all the way down the sides — makes digging around for things mid- flight or in a rush so much easier. It fits everything I need without feeling bulky and still looks polished no matter where I take it.

Great day pack. Pockets in all the right places for convenience items. Not having an internal frame, saves the weight I was looking for. Main pack pockets are right sized. Hydration sleeve allows for a variety of connection styles by using a Velcro strap. Comfortable shoulder straps with phone and bottle/other stretch fabric pockets. Waist belt has convenience quick access pockets and useful mini daisy chain rows, nice for small caribiners to connect small stuff. Lots of details others tend to leave out.

It's a great backpack. I got it large and it was actually smaller than I thought it would be. It definitely wo n't go over your head if you think it's those types of backpacks. You can reach the water bottle if you are able to reach for it normally on the side pocket. It looks nice and the clips are easy to snap on and off to remove the pack. The pockets all are great and the small pocket on the strap is pretty convenient and you can see through it a little bit to know what's in it too.

5 Outdoor dude
It was well received. It will provide many years of service.

5 Beans
I used this pack on a winter 7 miles, 3, 200' elevation hike breaking trail most of the way. I packed from the bottom up: belay parka in a compression sack, burly goretex shell jacket, 2 one liter nalgene bottles, extra gloves, med/ emergency kit( about 1L in size), 2, 500 calories of snacks, nanopuff jacket. Two headlamps and keys in the internal zip pocket, map and microspikes in the external zip pocket. Two 16oz waterbottles in each side pocket for 3L total, neither side waterbottle fell out while butt sliding down the trail. Samsung Galaxy S22 fit nicely in either chest pocket, chapstick in the bottom elastic pockets. 25 '' snowshoes on the S/M pack were easy to put on a take off with a sling. I did n't use the zip pocket next to the waterbottle holder but it definitely seems like it could be useful. Used the double sternum strap( very comfortable!) to clip my gloves to the bottom strap and tuck them under the top so no snow fell in. I carried the pack around for 15 minutes with 30lbs of rice and beans in the back, it carries the weight well but you can feel items through the back if you do n't pack right. No soreness the day after hiking. I plan to take this out on longer day hikes- presidential range, great range where I might want extra gear but do n't want a 40+L pack. No signs of wear after a single hike getting snagged by trees, seems like it will be durable. Sizing: I typically wear my packs at 18 '' torso, the S/M mens is a perfect fit, I had about 1 '' extra waistband with a 28 '' waist. I bought the Deuter SpeedLite 28 womens but it was terribly tiny all over, this is everything I wanted that pack to be and better. Overall: Very well organized, lots of attachment points, lightweight, comfortable, and moves well with the wearer. New go to pack, well worth the price.

After 3 years of use in all conditions in the four corners of the world, I can say... this is a perfect bag. Tested by the Indonesian rain, covered by snow on the Swiss peaks, splashed in the middle of the Andaman Sea in Thailand, deposited in the burning sand of Egypt, whipped by the winds of Spain, exposed for hours to the sun of Tazmania. This bag is all- proof, it is the perfect travel companion for small and large journeys. With its adjustable size it allows you to go from one size to another in a fraction of a second. You can put all your equipement of photo for a perfect security. It is an integral part of each of my trips as much for its practicality as for its quality. Ingenious and really well thought out I recommend without hesitation to anyone who wants to invest in a quality bag for many year.

Had this a couple of months and just took my first trip. I bought a pair of ski boots and checked them with my luggage. On my return trip I was worried they would get banged up so a light bulb went off. Could I possibly fit two huge size twelve ski boots in my Peak design. Holy crap. They fit like a glove. As if they were designed for the bag. Bonus, I said hmmmm. I wonder if I can use the straps to tie my helmet to the outside. boom works perfectly. And I also put my tech bag, lap top, iPad, kindle, head phones, goggles, etc in the bag and I need even need to expand to 45 liters. I also bought the sling bag which I carry in the bag and use as a day pack, it takes up zero room in the bag. Oh and I am still finding little compartments I did n't know where there. THERE IS NOT OTHER BAG ON THE MARKET AS GOOD AS THIS. Oh, I know I am a bag junky and I own all the others as well.

Wow- is possible to be in love with an inanimate object( 45L backpack)? I purchased this bag a month ago and have used it on two trips. Flawless, high quality and lives up to all the reviews! The packing cubes, tech and bath pouches, field pouch and 'stretchy' cubes rounded out the whole system, flawlessly. I could not be more happy with the fit, finish and overall quality of this bag and the accessories- well done!! Yes, the price is a bit higher than others, but you get what you pay for.

I bought this bag to use as my carry on camera bag, when I travelled for three weeks on 8 flights and seven hotels. It worked very well with a medium camera cube inside.

I used this pack for the first time on a 12 mile round trip overnight stay at a lake. It held everything I needed- I am an over packer too- and I still had room to pack out a few extra things like camp garbage. The hip support pads were nice and cushioned and didn ’ t chafe my skin like other packs, but I did notice my hips more sore than normal the day after. I wish there was more exterior pockets for smaller items, but the top cover having such a large pocket did the trick for me to access things like headlamp, bug spray, and some snacks. I ’ m very loyal to TNF brand and was reluctant to replace my well used spectrum pack, but very happy with my purchase and look forward to more use.

[ This is the perfect camping bag ensuring all of your belongings stay dry during those rainy days. I highly recommend this bag to anyone who does any hiking or outdoor activities this summer. This would even be great to take to the beach with you as it has straps like a backpack.

[ My family is big on camping and hiking. We always camp by the river so this backpack is a must to protect our items that need to stay dry. Super light and best part heavy duty. It withstands all our roughness and protect everything inside.

I got this backpack so that I could hit the gym after work. Fits my airpods, 40oz water bottle, weight belt, chalk, knee sleeves, plus some shorts and a workout shirt+ lifting shoes. As you can see the bottl sticks out but I don ’ t mind, it ’s a snug fit and the bottle has never fallen out.

5 Joeyxxd
This backpack is great has lots of space in multiple pockets. The side pockets for water bottles are large and hold my biggest water bottle with no problem. Would buy again in the future

This backpack is sleek. It is so clean looking. It has plenty of room for all of my daughters things. She loves his backpack because of the color because of the comfort of the strap. The strap are easy to adjust. We definitely recommend this backpack.

We bought this for my son as we got more into backpacking. This pack is versatile and handles his gear nicely. It isn ’ t unusual for him to strap the sleeping pad to the bottom of the pack. We use light gear, but definitely not all ultralight ultra compact gear. Durability is not a concern. I have a larger 80L pack and am considering getting this same pack for a more compact carry. I would say this pack could fit the bill for beginners and advanced users alike.

[ This is a very high- quality product. Carrying heavy loads is really nice with this. I chose black because it appears that the packs appear much brighter in real life than in the photos. Black looks amazing with yellow interwoven threads in the AG area. Just a work of art!

5 Daniel
[ Excellent pack with ample room and numerous pockets for gear organization. The focus on comfort and airflow is well worth the investment. Glad that I bought it.

5 Zack Hawaii backpack guy
[ This bag is super high quality, you can feel it in the material and just how well it fits to you with the anti gravity technology. There are a good amount of pockets to sperate certain gear but not to many to being useless. The bag is definitely not for ultralight backpackers but is perfect for backpackers who appreciate being comfortable.

5 Rich
[ I 'd been using my old pack for 20 years and just bought the Osprey Atmos 65. I just came back from a five day trip in the Beartooths( Montana) and I was glad to have the new pack. It definitely put the weight on my hips and was much easier on my shoulders than my old pack. The suspension system was also great, making this a more comfortable backpack. It's almost 4 pounds lighter than my previous pack as well. I 've only used it 5 days, so ca n't really comment on the long- term durability. I 've had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders over the past 2 1/2 years so my shoulders appreciated the new pack as well. Very pleased so far.

5 bdubz59
[ This pack is the perfect size for anything from a weekend to a full week of backpacking. It is very comfortable and can adjust to just about any size. I love all of the added features this pack has, especially the fact it has a large main compartment and then other smaller compartments to fit specialty items. I see see a few reviews about it making a squeaking noise while walking but I have n't noticed that yet.

[ Bought this a few weeks ago for a backpacking trip to Olympic National Park and it ’s been great so far! I ’ m a 5 ’ 9 ” woman with athletic/curvy build. Thoughtful compartments, detachable smaller pack, built in rain cover, and seems pretty lightweight to me. I love the green color of the pack and the neon green color of the rain cover. My other pack is a 45 Osprey from 4 years ago and this frame seems more supportive/better padded.

5 Sophia G.
[ Have only taken this pack on one trek so far but it was great. Very comfortable and distributes weight nicely. I love how convient it is to access the inside of the pack with the front pouch. Only complaint is the water bottle pocket- it ’s very difficult to get a 1. 5 liter Nalgene in and out when the pack is full.

5 Edcel
Absolutely love the day bag for backcountry camping!

5 Erin
I did n't understand the significance of a female- specific pack until I got this one-- I had been using a 75L+ unisex/ male pack for 10+ years and it always felt just a little off. The first time putting this one on, fully loaded, for a 5 day backpacking trip, I realized what a game- changer it was. Originally I was concerned going down in size by 5L, but all the pockets and stash points make up for it. It packs much better than my previous pack and the weight is distributed better and sits on my hips more comfortably. Definitely recommend!

5 Jem J.
Just got this pack as a replacement for my very old and trusted Arial 75. Despite being a guy I got the women's as my last one was a women's and it fit me so well. I am 5' 7 '' '' and 155#. Super comfortable and easy to adjust. I have just used it so far for day backcountry skiing. It easily synched down to a small size and was narrow with no wobble for skiing in the trees. Lots of pockets, I especially like the double pockets in the lid for sorting small stuff.

This is as well built of a bag as you ’ ll find. I love the 3 zip opening, made famous by now- yeti- owned Mystery Ranch. The 22L is great for a day out, or a small travel bag. If you want more space and a dedicated laptop zippered compartment, get the 27l. Otherwise, this does the trick.

5 TMReed21
I bought this backpack in black. I absolutely love the way this backpack opens, which allows for many items to be packed. Pack is made of tuffskin nylon, has a ripzip opening which compression straps. Has a compartment for a laptop and can easily be slid over the handle on a suitcase if traveling in the airport. You ca n't go wrong with this one!

[ I actually rented this backpack and it was great. Have n't tried other backpacks but for my first backpacking trip ever it did great and fit a ton of things. Decently lightweight and sturdy.

5 Kris
[ I LOVE this back. I backpacked through deep mud and heavy rain. The included rain cover was great for hiking and laying the bag down in the muddy vestibule. It feels like you are carrying half the weight when it is on and it can be adjusted to whatever your carrying preference is. I had and easily accessible spot for everything. I compared it to many other bags before settling on it. No other bag could beat the comfort, which is really important for a person with back pain.

5 JWWK
[ Perfect for a weekend trip for those that pack light and/or have modern gear. My only frustration is how small the lower zip compartment for the sleeping bag goes( down and compression stuff sack).

5 Toni G
[ I bought this bag the day before I left to hike the W circuit in Patagonia and I am so thankful I did. This pack was the perfect size for the 4 days/ 4 nights worth of hiking( 50+ miles in total). I have issues with my back and sciatica and never once felt any discomfort while carrying ~50lbs of gear in this pack. This is my 4th Osprey backpack purchase( have 3 other sizes) and this is the first one to have a rain cover built in! THANK YOU! The quality of the bags are the best and last for years!

This a great backpack and is nice combination of an ultralight backpack, but with a lot of the features of a more traditional backpack.

I bought this pack for day hikes and traveling, and I love it! The different adjustments make it super- comfortable, and the exterior loops for my trekking poles are really convenient. Great quality, lots of pockets and loops on the exterior, good ventilation on for my back, The only negative for me- it's currently only available in black. When they 're in blue or green, I will DEFINITELY get the larger size for longer hikes.

Frequently Asked Questions For Backpacks For Outdoor Activities

When selecting a backpack for outdoor activities, consider features such as capacity, comfort, and organization. Look for adjustable straps and padded back panels for comfort during long hikes. Additionally, compartments for hydration systems and gear organization can enhance your experience by keeping essentials easily accessible.

Backpacks designed for outdoor activities are typically made from durable materials like nylon or polyester, which provide resistance to wear and tear. Waterproof or water-resistant coatings are also common, ensuring your gear stays dry in wet conditions. Reinforced stitching and zippers further enhance the durability of these backpacks.

Choosing the right size backpack depends on the duration of your outdoor activities and the amount of gear you need to carry. For day hikes, a smaller pack with a capacity of 20-30 liters is usually sufficient, while longer trips may require larger packs ranging from 40 liters and above. Consider your body size and how the pack fits when loaded to ensure comfort.

Backpacks for outdoor activities are versatile and can be used for hiking, camping, climbing, and even biking. Each activity may require different features, such as hydration reservoirs for hiking or additional pockets for climbing gear. It's important to choose a backpack that aligns with your specific outdoor pursuits.

To ensure comfort, look for backpacks with adjustable straps, padded shoulder straps, and a breathable back panel. A hip belt can also help distribute weight more evenly, reducing strain on your shoulders. Trying on the backpack with some weight in it can help you assess its comfort level before making a purchase.
