Product Information

Designed for everyday use and short 2-3 days trips; this 20L slim bag can expand up to 30L when you need more space! However, be careful not to tighten them so much that they cause discomfort, pain, or restrict your breathing. Also, the front of the bag features a bungee cord system meant for lashing external gear on like a yoga mat. Principally designed for commuting but capable of taking a lot more than the urban hustle in its stride, the Osprey Nebula is among the best bags of its type. It’s stuffed with padded slots and pouches for all your laptop, tablet and smartphone storage needs, yet capacious enough to hold up to 34l of gear for a day out on the trails.

We recently took the newest Capacitor on a mountaineering trip with Helly Hansen in the North Cascades. Hauling days of food and gear for our basecamp up near vertical, washed-out trails was a comfortable cinch with this hardworking beast, and the suspension system kept us about as comfortable as one can be. Dual ice-axe loops allowed for easy transport of our alpine climbing gear. The large front zippered compartment is made of tough material, and was perfectly sized for our spiky crampons. The AMP 12 is a great addition to any tactical gear kit. An innovative hook-and-loop front panel provides attachment points for various 5.11 gear accessories. Unlike traditional sewn webbing attachment points, the hexagonal loops can mount gear at different angles for improved ergonomics. The Dyneema fabric of the Arc Blast’s body is super-lightweight, water-resistant, and abrasion-resistant. A Velcro roll-top closure keeps water out — even in gnarly storms. Utilizing these simple steps will have you feeling safe & secure every time you take off on an adventure! ConclusionThis one is durable and has all of the features that will work for whatever adventure awaits, whether that means exploring new cities or going camping in lakeside tents with friends. The durable, water-resistant polyester shell of this bag is coated with thermoplastic polyurethane— making it waterproof. By removing all of the modular features, the user can reduce the total weight by almost half a pound. Importantly, removing these features does not affect the Flash’s suspension system or carrying comfort. With multiple capacities available from 38l to 68l, the superb Osprey Kestrel (for men) and Kyte (for women) let hikers choose which size they want based on the length of their expedition. We tried the 58l Kestrel on a four-day hiking and camping trip and were thoroughly impressed by its overall comfort and impressive range of technical features. And is thankfully crafted with padded shoulder straps and a fully adjustable harness to keep your shoulders happy throughout your hike.

The reason there’s a sheen on the bag is that it’s combined with a TPU film laminate for added abrasion and weather resistance.The shoulder harness and hipbelt are easy to adjust and stay in place. It has an adjustable steel alloy internal frame, ranging from 18 to 22 inches in the M/L size (15-19 inches for the S/M). Torch: Helpful for finding your way at night, a torch will allow you to see where you're going without having to rely on your phone for light. Choose a dynamo torch so you don't have to constantly replace batteries. Principally designed for those people with titanium mugs, sporks, a love for freeze-dried dinners and bivvy bags; it is technical, versatile, surprisingly stylish and very comfortable. You should be able to breathe easily and move your arms around without restriction. Ideally, you should be able to fit two fingers between the strap and your chest.

This bag is made of 100% post-consumer recycled polyester materials with a DWR coating to make sure your stuff is protected if you do get caught in the rain. We tested the smallest Redwing — 30 L and close to three pounds. It isn’t ultralight, but the extra weight is a natural byproduct of the robust build quality. It’s not ideal for light and fast thru-hiking, but it works well for just about everything else. Having a separate rain cover is a nice touch, but do use it if the heavens open as the seams on the main bag aren’t sealed, so it won’t take that long to get saturated.

Best backpacks for the commute

For one, at 4.16lbs, it’s quite heavy and when loaded out at 30L, it can get uncomfortable to carry because the shoulder straps are not densely padded enough and hurt when the bag is full of heavy items. Pros: Available in men’s and women’s fit; comfortable; rain cover and helmet holder included; supportive frame Other noteworthy features include an internal hydration bladder sleeve, dual ice axe loops, and a versatile compression system that offers additional exterior storage. Beyond that though, it feels premium with metal fastenings and well-considered design elements such as a waterproof nylon outer-shell and flush hidden zippers which will keep even the most torrential rain out.

Plus, the bag measures 21.3 x 15.3 x 7.1 inches and weighs just 2.4 lbs, which will pass as a personal item on major flights. So you see, you can’t go wrong with this one if comfort is your priority Quality and durability: Prior to use, we inspected the bags, evaluating features like fabric quality, loose threads, stitching, zippers, and strap padding. We then assessed how they held up after six months of regular use.Various colours of recycled polyester with a polyurethane bottom (all made from recycled water bottles)
