i been looking for a backpack for the past 3 weeks, i went to ems tried about 20 packs (arkterix, osprey, mountain hardware, deuter, granite gear, the north face and others), same thing at paragon sports where i tried many others, finally i went to tent and trails (all in nyc), and finally i found the right one. a day pack that i can use to carry my computer when im biking to work in the traffic, a hydration pack that i can use when i go mountain biking. and if im competent enough a pack that i can use on a two days hike (ultralight) there is only two compartments without organizers, and a cool feature is that you can remove the waist belt (i been using without in the city) comfortable, nimble and looks great i have a macpac kakapo 80l a osprey atmos 50l and im really happy with my new acquisition
