Small person seeking new bag!

I have been happy so far with the Osprey Sportlite 25, women’s size s/m. I am a little less than 5’6”. It doesn’t tick all of your boxes though since it has a zipper closure and is about 22” tall per my measurements (the other dimensions are totally smaller than your requirements). I like that it ha

Light hiking bag

Osprey Sportlite 25 or something similar Great functional and comfortable bag, lifetime warranty, plenty of room for a 2.5 liter reservoir/multiple layers/gloves/beanie/snacks/core hiking essentials.

Has finally arrived

It’s fine for day hikes. I used it in Acadia. The laptop compartment can be used for a water bladder and then just mostly zipped up and run down the shoulder on the zipper side with the hose keeper strap. It’s not as comfortable as my Osprey Sportlite 25L, but it’s a perfectly fine bag to carry the

Looking for a good daypack for short hikes

Osprey Sportlite 25L or Osprey Talon 30L. They are both great.

Backpack for commuting, travelling, and hiking

Not sure exactly what you are after, I have an Osprey Sportlite 25 that is a bit of a Goldilocks bag for me. Approx. dimensions depending on how packed in cm- 50 x 30 x 24 - 750 grams. It could be too big for what you are looking for, but has no frame and folds and moulds to fit most spaces. It's ve

Suggestions for the Azores

My go-to bag for the Azores was the Osprey Sportlite 25L (a bit bigger than what you're looking for, but we've always had great experiences with their bags. That said, key is to bring along a bag cover, whichever pack you choose.

Help Choosing a Backpack for Southeast Asia: Gregory Jade 38, REI Trail 40, or Gregory Tribute 40?

The REI Trail 40L should meet carry on dimensions. The other two do not. Can you go smaller? As a 5’ tall woman, the Trail 40L is quite large. My daypack is the Osprey Sportlite 25L, and I really love it for hiking. It weighs only 1.65 pounds, and I can carry everything I need for indefinite travel

EDC Backpack Help

Hiking backpacks are not necessarily heavier. Look at those with a straight back, and avoid those with a trampoline mesh and a curved back. Also avoid those which are too narrow. The Osprey sportlite 25 is 53x30x24cm. Or The Deuter Trail 25 or 33. Carrying a heavy load for prolonged period of time o

22L or 34L backpack for Patagonia this and next week?

You can probably use the 22L for day hiking. I used an Osprey Sportlite 25 in Patagonia this last March. The real issue is how bulky the layers of clothing are that you hike with. I used 5 layers (t-shirt base, long sleeve hiking shirt, quarter zip light layer, puffy down jacket, rain shell. I usual
