Hot take: I did not like Daylite 26+6

My one bag backpack is the North Face Recon Woman version. I’ve tried various backpacks including patagonia, osprey, tom bihn. But nothing beats the harness system from the TNF W version. I have traveled with the smaller Borealis, but switched to the Recon for more space (also for work). I’m 5”2 siz

Any recommendations for what to carry on my bag?

I carry around a The North Face Borealis mini. Fits all my stuff and isn’t huge. Most important to bring for me: lactase pills. (If you know, you know)

Personal item for a short girl?

I'm 4' 11" and I'm very loyal to my Fjallraven. It's lightweight, easy to access everything I need, and really easy to clean. I also tried out the North Face Borealis and I found it to be way too tall to the point where it was uncomfortable against my spine when I walked around with it. The only thi

Recommendations for a small (8-12L) daypack?

So I sent them back. I now bought the North Face Borealis. That is what I was looking for. A small backpack w

Need advice before buying another pack

I just bought the Cotopaxi Clase 28L and it’s supposed to be able to carry all these things. I haven’t received it yet, but there were some really good reviews online that it can carry a lot. Otherwise, I’ve heard good things about the North Face Borealis.
