Great Dayhike

: I use this pack about 3-4 times a week. I’ve had it about a year and it has treated me wonderfully.It is a great compliment to my Osprey Aether (attached a picture of it). Gives you that extra needed capacity, or just attach it empty and use it for quick summit or day hikes from your base.I have used this pack for ultralight backpacking trips, although I don’t envision many people doing the same. On those trips I limited myself to a tarp, sleeping bag, my tiny burner, and the other necessities (food, water, etc.). I found it easy to attach to the outside of this pack.As an everyday carry, I often use it for bike rides and general purpose outings. It’s the perfect size to bring some food and cameras and an extra jacket or two for when you are out and about. I keep a survival knife (that has a single LED light and firestarter) on one of the straps at all times. The bungy webbing has proven useful for me. I often toss my sandals there while at the beach, or occasionally hang something from it using an s-biner.The straps have a bit of a curve for your shoulders, which I find very comfortable. It sits the pack a little bit lower and conformed to my back nicely.I would definitely recommend this pack as a nice general use one, but it also makes an especially good dayhike pack. The hydration pouch encourages the use of a bladder, a good addition.Overall, after a year of use I still find myself extremely pleased with this pack.
