It's comfortable, suitable for day hikes, and well designed. This pack was the perfect daypack for my three month trip to SE asia. I love both my packs and plan to remain a committed customer !! As for the chemicals, like my husband said, "we are surrounded by these things daily." ** Osprey will repair or replace their products !?!? This promise can't be beat. Otherwise, they're perfect for lil alcohal bottles (antimicrobial lotions are nasty), tissues, gloves even a fitted beanie. The side mesh pockets seem to be getting a lot of flack, but as one reviewer suggested once, pin it to support the size of your bottle. Personally, the slimmer hip belt is just fine for me. It's lightweight and comfortable fully packed. I wear it bike riding, snowboarding, to the tea shop. Day hiking trips for my family happen at least 4 times a week. This pack is so durable it has stood the test of time. Whatever the cost 5 years ago or today, it is worth every penny. By far it has been one of my most valuable pieces.

It miraculously carries everything I need, plus some of my kid's stuff. It has seen woods, forests, snow covered mountains, the beach, the airplane and everywhere in between. Hare Krsna Osprey !! This pack has traveled with me from coast to coast multiple times. I took one star off for water bottle access while moving as this is pretty important to me. Having a light pack was not on my radar initially, i was more focused on capacity, appearance, hydration compatibility. I was very surprised by how light it was when i unpacked it. I will continue to use this pack for my day hikes, i really do like it. I am looking to get another pack, id like to try some multi day hikes and will need something larger. I do think its a comfortable pack, fits what i need and i still can add the 2.5 L hydration bladder if going on an extended day hike or the weather calls for it. I probably could if I was younger and more flexible but I am not. I do not like that I can't access the bottles while moving but its not a deal breaker. Now that i have some miles with it I have moved away from the hydration bladder to just two 1 L water bottles. I also liked the look of this pack a lot. 5-16 mile day hikes, hydration compatible, comfort, light weight, no unnecessary features. I am brand new to hiking and this pack checked all the boxes for day hikes. However, I have used them to nest my trekking poles in, which I then anchored to the side of my pack with the compression strap. I put the compression strap through the loop on the lid of my water bottle. However, you can very easily put yours in the outside shove it fabric pocket. On the one negative I noted, the side mesh stretch water bottle pockets don't hold water bottles. I will also use it for day or multi day trips out to more touristy places on occasion. It should be mentioned that I also used it for day hikes. I don't use it for that anymore not because it was not good enough, it did great, but because I upgraded to panniers (although I still use it to go from class to class in school). I used to use this pack daily for carrying my stuff to/from school, & then from class to class, as well as to go shopping. I mostly use it now for camping & travel, either using it as I go from class to class at BSA summer camp or if I go off for a short hike with fellow scouts, or with me in the cabin of a car/plane to hold what I need for the drive/flight. I have used this pack in rain, snow, sleet, light hail, high winds, storms, thrown it down on to rocks, sprayed it with mud and smacked it with branches mountain biking just to name some of the more common abuse I put it through. I operate in tough environments & weather conditions, & as such need gear that will preform.
Since then, I have beat the living Daylight (pun intended) out of it, & it still looks & performs like it did when it was new. I got this pack for my birthday years ago. Shop New Women's Slippers Search Within Women Search
