Looking at this Daypack...

[DLANOIE]

Hey all.

I am hoping for some feedback on this pack. Does anyone currently use one and how do you like it? I just sold my Osprey Exos because I didnt like the fit. I like the weight of it and I like that it is simple in design. I know Zpacks are super light, but $$ is an issue for me. This pack is thirty bucks. I will be using it only for peakbagging so lunch, water and warm clothes are all I will be carrying. Any info good or bad is appreciated!

it's a good pack for the money. You can cut a bunch of useless junk off it and get rid of close to half it's weight.

I used one of those as my pack on the AT for a section on 07 (Springer toWayensboro starting mid-march)

This costs $20 more, but weighs a fraction as much as is light enough that it wouldn't be so bad to use as a stuffsack in your normal pack.

I have a Rush Golite really like it as a daypack.

I've had the flash 18 for a few years and I really like it. I'm always surprised at how comfortable it is to wear. It is perfect for what you plan on carrying.
