And on summit day, I sure am glad I have a daypack! For day hikes this is just as good as (and lighter than) my Osprey Daylite that retails for almost four times more. On the outside you will find two side pockets and rigging that can be used to tighten the bag, hold extra gear, and an option to hold trekking poles. The pockets work great for holding 32 oz Nalgene bottles or 40 oz insulated water bottles. I suggest have equal weight on both sides or switch the weight around. The land manager for each parcel held by these constituents is responsible for the trail within its holdings. Some sections have restrictions on their use in order to be compatible with the goals and purposes of the various public and private landholders whose property the trail crosses. Horseback riding, mountain biking, or trail side camping may be restricted in certain environmentally sensitive areas. Walmart has up to 50% off select Ozark Backpacks and Daypacks! I use this pack on a daily basis to carry my office clothes while I ride my bike to work and to carry light loads while out Geocaching. If you're looking for a daypack, or a carry-on that fits everywhere, this is the deal. Especially at the clearance price you can get now. I did instantly notice the difference of carrying a lighter bag. I also don't really prefer single compartment stuff bags, but, this works for what I need. This daypack came in handy just for what I intended. I’ve been using this bag for over a year and love it for it size and comfort levels. I like how almost every strap can be adjusted to fit the user. Most of our hikes are seven miles or less but we are combing the hikes so I’m wearing the bag for hours. But I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Ozark Trail 45 Liter Backpacking Backpack. Back in 2020 my wife and I decide on a last-minute backing trip to the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. Because of this we realized we didn’t have all the gear we needed. We had our shoes, trekking poles, and water bladders. My bags were either to heavy or hurt her back. The Ozark Trail is a hiking, backpacking, and, in many places, biking and equestrian trail under construction in the Missouri Ozarks in the United States. It is intended to reach from St. Louis to Arkansas. Over 350 miles (563 km) of the trail have been completed as of 2008, and the estimated length when finished will be at least 500 miles (805 km). The only issues I have with the bag is that the stitching isn’t as good as you might find on the more expensive bags and its weight. The more expensive will use higher quality materials that are generally stronger and lighter weight. Then it’s worth it for me to have a smaller bag. Just about every other daypack I've had falls apart under the weight of my books (med school). I also like the fact that for my outdoor activities, it's designed to hold a hydration bladder. It even has a rain cover built in, which is great when I'm riding my bicycle across town on a rainy day. Grab a hydration compatible backpack for $13.96 or Go Bag for $15.53. MY ITEM ARRIVED DAMAGED We do ship every item with extra padding. Despite this, our customers report that around 1 in 1000 products arrives damaged due to mail service mistreatment. While this pack may not be big enough to carry all the gear you need for longer treks, it offers many of the features you would want at a good price. Because it's basically a single compartment stuff bag, I did have to make sure the items inside were distributed properly. We like that this pack has a lot of pockets including a zipper that allows you to access the middle of the pack without opening the top. Includes Trekking pole attachment points, compression straps and a sleeping bag compartment. Today I immediately loaded it up and went out for a few hours. For water and OJ I use Vapur anti bottles which aren't bulky at all. My glucose meter and keys went in the small outside pocket.
