Small Daypack suggestions?

[Klenchblaize]

For something a little different consider asking Peto to make something around the 20lt mark:

I'm also quite taken with the mystery ranch streetfighter

What a moutainsmith lumbar day pack? I happen to have one for sale???

Osprey Talon 18? Lots of packs both with and without a hip belt.

The first daysack i bought, many moon's ago, was a British army 30l patrol/field pack.

Still in use today as my fishing kit pack.

Cheap cheerful and no frills

what's the general opinion on viper gear

the lazer 24 pack actually looks pretty good for the money

 

[Jared]

Another nice looking one, but the price is bit ridic.

If you want to talk about ridiculous check out Kifaru! I say that as a fan boy who's forked out for their bags. Mind you great kit.

used to have an e&e but it didn't sit quite right on my back

I'm looking to spend up to £150 on the right pack but maybe I'm asking on the wrong forum , I keep getting 'Bushcraft' suggestions and I'm really after something a bit more comprehensive, for day to day carry that I could take into the woods

its my own fault -I'll go discuss on the edcforums...

Corso, i went round the usual shops in Glasgow even visiting Trakke. In the end Lowe 22L was the winner, http://www.outdoorkit.co.uk/product...aign=froogle&gclid=CPavx5z3pdECFaoy0wodCB8L4w

It is great for running, walking and work.

If that's the case, what was your reason for rejecting the Osprey Talon 18? Aesthetics are a bit marmite I guess, but it's a really well regarded multi-use pack. Can get them for about £50.

doesn't meet my original specs

 

[MilkTheFrog]

Which ones? Not pushing it or anything, just trying to learn.

 

[Corso]

no subdued colours, no admin pocket (as far as I can tell) slip pockets don't look like they can fit a gi canteen and if by chance they do the ruck will be twice as deep as I want

I am being fussy I know but I've tried most styles out there...

 

[Squidders]

What's an admin pocket?

 

[sum1quiet]

I have a 5.11 Rush 12 which I love, feels very well made and it's full of places to store stuff. Tons of pockets, looks easily good enough to be an EDC one too. Comes in a variety of good looking colours too.

Second the rush 12. Use it at work for my kit but admittedly it does have a fair bit of molle on it. Does meet all your other criteria tho. Used mine for carry on luggage and traveling about in the USA. Has 1 main compartment (2x internal mesh zipped pockets, hydration bladder slip. 2 outside zipped pockets 1 small 1 large (large being admin use) pen slots, space blanket sized pouches etc).

1 secret (behind the grab handle) pocket that's fleece lined and zipped. Sun glasses / mobile sized.

Large full sized zipped section to access back panel area (I keep reusable space blanket which adds padding too)

Mines got a few miles in it now and still looks good. Bit rough around edges.

Compression straps on outside I use to hang light jacket etc for immediate use. Or an umbrella (!?!?!?)

Good wee pack. However I feel you may not get around the "tacticool" look it has.

PS. I also carrys my sit pad and brew kit into the woods with the dogs on a walk too. Seems I use it for exactly what you are asking for. Work, day to day, woods.

Maxpedition typhoon? Another awsome looking little pack for literally nothing but day to day stuff. Nice colour choices too.

Corso - you live in Kent.
Why not pop into Platoon Stores in Rochester high street and have a browse around their bags? They have those Viper bags and a few others so you can inspect them for yourself and I'm sure they'd let you load one up so you can see how comfortable they are.
