The backpacks listed below are crafted from quality materials so that they can carry a lot more items than you’d think by looking at them and are ideal for short day trips.

Osprey makes great backpacks. I’ve been using an Osprey pack for three years and have been very pleased with its functionality and comfort. This pack has just about everything you could look for in a pack. It’s designed to carry up to 50 pounds. The internal frame and hip belt help distribute the weight comfortably. The mesh panel between your back and the pack helps keep you from getting sweaty. Compression straps help even the heaviest packer contain their belongings. And my favorite feature on this pack, the stowaway panel for all the straps. Stowing the straps makes airline travel smoother.
