Mountain Hardwear Drifter Backpack - Internal Frame

This pack is the perfect size, capacity, and weight for airline carry-on. Enough room to carry essentials and then some. Handle on the front of the pack provides good accessibility when going through airport security. Straps are well-padded and provides easy, comfortable, secure carrying when on the run through the terminal. The price was great! I will also use for day hikes and trips.

Excelente daypack to 2-3 days backpacking, very pretty, cordura is an excelent waterproof

This is my go-to pack. I've used it on vacations, backpacking trips, and baby-gear hauling day trips. If I'm going somewhere and I might need a pack, this is the one I take. It's very solid, with huge zippers for easy access. It's large enough to carry a few days worth of essential, minimal backpacking gear. Definitely not meant to be loaded heavily; I've carried 25 pounds or so comfortably for many, many miles.

I really wanted to like this backpack--I did love the way the zippers came all the down for easy loading, and how the handle on the front would make it easy to grab (if you shove it in an overhead compartment on a plane), and it certainly seems well made--but the only problem was the stiff straps that dug into my neck. I tried adjusting it many different ways, but they're just so close together and shaped funny that they just rubbed and rubbed and I had to return it. Maybe a different size would have helped, [...]

Extremely comfortable and spacious for day hiking. I'm 6'2" and the large fits me perfectly.
