Osprey Manta 34

I'd say this bag is best used for longer day hikes or overnight hikes. It's not a bag that you're going to thru-hike with, it doesn't have enough spac...

A great option to keep you hydrated on your next overnight adventure, this is the Osprey Manta 34.

So the Manta 34, I think it's a really well-built quality backpack.

But yeah, all round, what an absolutely brilliant pack.

ride. Compact technical backpack: I use my Osprey technical backpack most of the time riding to work because it is a longish ride (20 km each way), so stability and comfort matter.

I love my Osprey Manta, but I’m short(er) and dumpy 5’10” and 260ish. I have the L size in the 30L capacity, mainly because my torso is longer. It has a 3L hydration bladder that is great.

I really wanted to love this bag. I really appreciate the form factor, which is hard to find in today's daypacks (most seem to be super long and slender) and makes this pack super versatile.
