As an avid hiker, I can attest that a quality daypack can make the difference between an OK experience and a stellar one. This bag receives overwhelmingly high marks for comfort and functionality. It has a large main compartment for storing snacks, layers, sunscreen and other outdoor essentials, an interior hydration reservoir and breathable compression straps (they ensure a snug fit and can make a pack feel lighter).

An impressive 98% of Dick’s buyers recommend this model, using it for hikes, work commutes, fishing and more. 

“I own about six different Osprey packs in various sizes,” said one bag fanatic. “The Daylite Plus is my everyday pack and I absolutely love it. Well built and well thought out. If it ever wears out (unlikely), I’ll just buy another one. Can’t beat it.”
