Backpack recommendations, Next backpack advice
Hey all Looking for some advice on my next backpack. I went to an outdoors store and tried a few on, but don’t feel I’ve found “the one” yet.
I’m a father of 2 and am looking for something comfortable for all day outings with the family. A day at the zoo, a day around town, a light hike, etc. and something that can double as my travel carry on.
I currently use a Herschel little America 30L and my back/shoulders hurt by the end of the day. I’m typically hauling 3-4 metal water bottles, snacks and possibly clothes/ tablets/kids stuff.
Packs I tried on:
- Osprey Daylight Plus, which I thought would be perfect but found the handle rubbed on my neck and 20L felt small in person
- Gregory nano 20- more comfortable and found a 24L version online but heard poor reviews on the straps
- Osprey Hikelite 28 – very comfortable but not much in terms organization.
- Osprey Quaser – didn’t see it in person but looked good online
Key features I’m looking for:
- Two exterior water bottle holders
- Removable hip belt
- Comfortable to carry all day
- 24+ litres
Nice to haves:
- Organization
- Tablet/laptop sleeve
- Something I’m not thinking about?
Is there anything beyond daypacks I should be looking at?
we recommand this one small size 20L :
