Mira

I love my 22L Osprey Mira for long day hikes. Perfect size for what I bring. Good features and carries weight well. I also have a 12L Osprey Silva that works well in shorter hikes where I'm not carrying as much. So for the distances you are looking to cover, something in the 20s should be fine.

Decathlon and Outdoor Vitals for most gear needs. I love my OV jackets, clothing, and sleep booties and head hood.

I literally just bought the Osprey Mira 24 and took it on a hike yesterday and it’s so great! I only buy packs with air gap backs because I sweat a ton and it helps reduce chafe, but I had 3.5L of water in it (it comes with a 2.5L bladder), a few layers, snacks, and barely noticed it.

Thank you for adding so much detail!

The osprey packs are really well designed, lightweight and comfortable. Only issue is sometimes the zips get a bit sticky. Buy one 2nd hand on market

I would suggest a backpack with a water bladder. I stayed noticeably more hydrated than with a water bottle and getting headaches and tired. I started using the water bladder and tube attached via a magnet near my mouth. I was consistently taking small sips and felt much better. Don’t know if you ha

Using the Osprey Mira 34 for the Portuguese Camino atm and it’s so comfy and is adjustable (I am also a small female) and has a built in water bladder

Due to their high quality and exceptional customer service, I only buy osprey now. The Mira 34 looks perfect for your use.

Thank you I appreciate it!! I wish they had a bag exactly like the Fairview but with the water pouch, I love how it opens. I’m now looking at the Mira™ 34 Hiking Hydration Backpack Manta 34 Hiking Hydration Backpack Osprey Skarab 30 Hydration Hiking Pack And some others Which style of Osprey bag do
