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. It ’s big enough for my family of four to pack overnight clothes and next day outfits for an evening away. Have yet to take it on a day hike. Super excited about this pack. Waited until it was on sale and had a$ 10 gift card

[ I bought this backpack for day hikes and mountain biking. It easily accommodated my 2 liter water reservoir with plenty of space leftover for trail snacks and extra clothing layers. The side pockets were handy for an extra water bottle and sunglasses. Would highly recommend this pack for someone that needs to carry water and travel light.

I bought this bag back in April and I have been using it not only as a day pack but also as my everyday bag. I love the breathable back panel and how I ’ m carrying a heavy load that doesn ’ t feel like a heavy load. For a short man it is one of the only packs that I can wear with out having to get a woman ’s pack. It is easy to use and access things from it. The opening of the pack has a wide opening to get to stuff at the bottom.
