Can the top detachable pouch be converted to a day pack / hip pack? If so, how?

No, I don't believe so.However, it's by far the best pack I've owned. And I've owned several since the early 70's

Nope. The new Osprey AB, which is a fabulous pack, does have a detachable lid, but it still doesn't make a daypack. Too bad--wish it did.

I love my pack but I didn't know that the top did convert into a day pack. I will have to look at mine more closely. To me it didn't appear to have that feature but again I wasn't looking for it before.

Well, you should be able to use one from any shoulder sling bag (like a gym bag or similar) I've found nearly any kind, if adjustable can be modified to fit on it.

I think so. There are many compartments that can be customized. The pack has a lot of depth.

If I am not mistaken, this backpack is also designed to accommodate a water pack that is specific to the daypack that you can purchase separately. It has a pocket in the back that it will slide into. I do not have it but have seen it on other packs. you may want to check into it.

No. There are a variety of pouches that are available that can hold this though.

yes, it can. The padding has velcro so you can rearrange it to fit the items you want to store in the pack.

Yes, but there are two flaps with triglides permanently attached to e bag where the waist strap ties in. It's unnoticeable while wearing without waist straps, I suppose you could always just cut them off, I plan to build a plate carrier that snaps into those flaps myself, while I have the waist support from a maxpedition proteus pack (which can be folded into the versipack for edc).Very versatile system, with every penny.

The zipper in the front doesnot have any mesh but it does have a ring for key. In the main compartment there is a place for credit cards etc and it is hanging inside. It is not detachable. Overal it is a big size funny pack

Yes, you could do that but it will take up a LOT of space. If you have a large pack and a short pad it may work somewhat but you will have to repack every time you use it. I tries it with my long pad and it took up too much space.

You could use that one I suppose but I use just the Topeak Explorer Bike Rack and am able to carry a daily change of clothes some small items. The other stuff I keep in a backpack.

It works like a standard backpack. You will need to remove it off of your shoulders to access anything. It is too cumbersome to use it like a sling and open it on the go.

I don't believe it will fit. You would have to stretch the pouch quite a bit to fit it in.

Pouches can not be removed .......placement works comfortably. !, if removable is desired get base platform only

Very Tight fit will need to stretch the pouch and then the top just closes.Hope this helps Regards,

The pouch is a magazine holder. Easily comes off. Purchased separately, not included with Hip Extender.

Not really. Given that the hydration packs come in all shapes and sizes, there is probably a way to do it.

It can be done.. I most often just roll/fold it flat or roll it tight and wrap it with a large rubber band, or just stuff it in to avoid having more items in my pack to deal with.
