The reflective trim is a nice feature, especially if we are skiing or hiking in low light, on a trail shared by snowmachines. It is comfortable over a summer trail shirt, or over a winter anorak. It is so light, and non-cumbersome, that I can wear it, while using a skijoring belt, without any discomfort, The size is just right, to throw in a basic FA kit, water, paw wax, ski wax, and of course dog treats for the trail.
I mostly use the pack in the winter, when skijoring. The side pockets are large and deep, and there is a strap over the top at an angle which can help hold taller water bottles in place. There is no hook or loop to attach the top of the reservoir bag, but the hose can be placed under the accessory loop on the shoulder straps. I did put in a hydration reservoir from my Camelbak once, to see how it fit, which was fine, but I have only used water bottles with this pack. The back is ventilated, and there is a hydration reservoir. The pack can comfortable be used by either my 6'5 husband, or by 5'7 me, and it is nice to have that flexibility. The shoulder straps have nice padding, and there are accessory loops on them, which I really utilize. The waist strap (which can be removed) is a plain narrow webbing strap, without padding, but serves quite adequately for this pack. The pack has nicely adjustable straps, including a sliding adjuster for the sternum strap. However, my husband loves the Osprey, so when we hike together, I split up the gear. of gear) cannot adequately contain all my regular gear for most day hikes or winter snowshoeing trips. I usually carry dog and human first aid supplies, extra water, survival gear, camera gear, and outerwear "just in case".the Osprey (793 cu in. The capacity is a bit small for me to use it as my standard day pack.
It is very durable, comes in a variety of colors, and has nice features that project it a bit past other basic "sack" day packs I have had. This little day pack weighs barely a pound, yet has served us well as a second pack for day hikes.
