Go sub 30L for a day pack. I've had an Osprey Quasar 26L for 5+ years now that started off as my day pack and has morphed into my under the seat carry-on/edc bag. I've been very pleased with it.I recently bought a TNF Borealis Trails 26L that I use as my day pack. Very comfortable and plenty of spac

I actually wish to get the Quasar 26L cause I don’t like the new North Face Borealis design that unable to replace the bungee when it is broke. The Osprey Quasar 26L is smaller than the Borealis 28L, it is ideal for daily packing to me. I like The Columbia Atlas Explorer II 26 L Backpack Sold In Aca

I have two osprey and like both of them, neither though are the proxima. Not saying anything against it as I've not had one, but thought I'd mention the two I have and really like in case you haven't seen them. They are the Nebula 32l and Quasar 26l.

I've tried mostly every pack they have made over the last 7/8 years and they all have the same straps ... it's shocking they never adjusted them ... even still last week with the release of the CHZV3. I think the general consensus about EG bags is: they are thoughtfully designed with great materials

Evergoods CHZ22 or CHZ26, or CTB20 Osprey Daylite or Quasar 26L for something much cheaper There are so many bags, but with Osprey you are sure you fall into something in between hiking and work, just check the laptop size clearance

Osprey Quasar 26L as doubles up as an ultra lighting bag in its own right! The Tomtoc 360 is an excellent standalone laptop case.

I've just got the Osprey Quasar 26l to use as an EDC bag, so can use it for the likes of nipping to the shops, or days out with my kids. I also have the Osprey Nebula 32l (has that a few years now) which is good but a little bigger, I bought it for work trips away. Main difference is the bag depth a

This will hugely depend on the size you want and your build. I'm 6'4" and broad shouldered, small backoacks look and feel tiny on me. I've just got an Osprey Quasar 26l and been using it this past week whilst away. I would carry my wallet, power bank, dslr camera with one lens, invisalign stuff, inh

I use Osprey Quasar 26l. Not bad, has waist belt, not a super good one though. A bit bigger as per spec but can be squeezed if not full. Looked into Osprey Tempest (smaller versions), they have a good waist belt but do not have a laptop compartment so I went with Quasar as a compromise. (Note - I am
