Hey guys;
I just did a 7 mile loop hike in Harriman Park NY with my Outdoor Products (not related to Outdoor Research) pack I've used as my go-to day pack for a very long time.
The pack is probably around 20L, and has no frame. It can become very uncomfortable if packed full (and improperly, which is usually the case when I just want to do a day hike).
I did a Google search and came up with a YouTube video review of the Osprey Stratos 24.

I didn't find a review for the Stratos 24 in the pack reviews.
This pack looks like it would fit my needs, given that I always carry at least 1.5L water, extra gear, a large hero sandwich I purchase on the way in, and other gear I consider necessary.
I like the fact that the Stratos 24 has a frame, which should make it much more comfortable than the pack I'm using now.
I also own an Osprey Atmos 65 AG, but haven't done any multi-day backpacking since 2015.
Thanks for your help
Ethan
