Osprey Daylite Plus Pack vs REI Co-op Tarn 65 Pack - Kids'

* Osprey Daylite *PLUS* 20L. * My personal favourite so far, but fitting it in my main bag + all the other gear is my concern.

While Northface makes a good quality bag this bag is too narrow for use as a book bag for a high school or college student. The opening is small and my son struggles to get more than 3 books in and out of the bag. If looking to just pack your laptop, a jacket and one book for a hiking trip then this is your bag but not for a book bag for a student. I am sorry I made this purchase

I'll go over them here and the bag costs 70 U.s or for me 95 Canadian. And now let's go over the bags. So right on the front here, you can pull open t...

Great pack. Comfortable to wear and plenty of organization, but doesn’t go overboard in that department. I like the fleece-lined valuables pocket for stashing my phone in a pinch. Only minor complaint is that it doesn’t always stand on its own

I Like these external Cardinal areas I Like to be able to grab things as I'm hiking. you can see it's not very wide. It says why does the day pack and...

I bought this pack for my son to use for Scouting; his only use of the pack was for an overnight hiking trip with his Troop. Overall, the pack was one of the only kid-sized packs that would fit his frame and the associate at our store in Pittsburgh spent the time to fit him (Thank you!). Because of this, we ended up ordering from REI.com since we wanted one of a different color than the store had in stock

-I find the cross straps also annoying, they feel in the way when you're trying to pack things and hurry quickly and I largely use them to secure the water bottle since it falls out due to the instability of this pack but its very annoying to need to clip each time when you're just trying to access the main compartment for your jacket when the stash pocket on front doesn't fit a jacket in the first place

Super uncomfortable, the shoulder straps were hard as a rock and the back was super rigid due to the plate, but the cushioning is not soft nor supportive. No way I would take this on a hike or anywhere long distance without having sore shoulders afterwards. Bought an Osprey pack for 30% cheaper that carried about as much as this one but was 3x as comfortable.
