Osprey Skarab 30L Men's Hiking Backpack with Hydraulics Reservoir, Black

Very practical for traveling or longer hikes. The bag fits a lot of stuff, has straps to make it more compact when it isn't full, fits under an airplane seat (not fully packed though) and also fits a 15 inch macbook that is in a laptop sleeve. I wouldn't recommend it for laptops but it will work if needed. Hydration pouch is awesome when hiking and the bag is very comfortable.

It is big enough to carry extra clothing, micro spikes, snacks and has a large water bladder! The waist pockets are great for easy access to things without having to take the whole pack off

I'm 6'5" 210 lbs, i got this for a day pack and its been great. Very comfortable as i expect from Osprey. Alot of bells and whistles so to speak, but i like that in a day pack. Ive seen some complaints about the side pocket zippers, to be honest i keep them unzipped when i hike to keep my water bottles in. Yes, it has hydration, but i prefer bottles most of the time.

Pack is great. However, it came with a 2.5 liter bladder instead of the 3.0 liter bladder that was specified in the description.

My son loves his pack and has no complaints. During the summer months, he summits several 14'ers per month - goes hiking every weekend. He packs stuff for a day hike and for his dog and this seems to work great.

This is an awesome pack. Only have about 20 miles on it. The quality is evident. Very comfortable, lightweight, great bladder system. Should have purchased one sooner.

This is the most incredible pack I’ve ever owned. I would definitely recommend. I use this pack almost every day and have no negatives to report.

It is about same weight as a REI trail 25 or Talon 22, but it's got 30L of space.It has better hip pads, not say as good as the 40L backpacks but it makes the Skarab 22 look terrible.It has an extra pouch in front to cram, unlike the REI trail 25.It's got a upper exterior pocket, included water hydration pouch with the magnetic osprey lock in front.It has all of the daisy chains and attachments like the REI trail 25, so you miss out on nothing.It has dual side pockets but they even zip up, unlike the REI trail 25. You don't miss out on pockets like the Talon 22.It has the vented back like the Talon 22 so you have that comfort, plus the hip pouch that sucks you in like the 40L backpacks.To me, it's the ultimate daypack, after hours of research and trying out daypacks. It's not ultralight, but it's ultra functional.
