Would this bag be ok to take on a backpacking trip?

I love the bag. It will definitely keep you warm and cozy. I haven't used mine for backpacking only car to campsite tent camping. I typically take a lightweight hammock and thermal blanket rolled up in my sleeping pad when backpacking.

It would probably be tight. I use this bag to carry my iPad and all of it's accessories.

No way. That bag is good for lots of odds and ends. Maybe a small laptop. Good luck.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. The Osprey has an airscape design for the back which gives the pack a kinda seemeless fit with the spine, bending, or folding it might damage it.

having been a backpacker in younger years ,I would say this trail hawk is a little too heavy. for hiking, if you carried it on your belt it should work for you

Absolutely. I took it backpacking last week and it was 32 degrees in the morning. The compression sack it comes with is fine. The straps look like they will tear under pressure at some point but so far so good.

It would provide sufficient padding, I think, but it is a bit cumbersome. If you are traveling in a vehicle where you have plenty of space, it probably would not be a problem. But if you are backpacking into your campsite, it would be too big to roll up and pack with you.

it would just depend on what type of trip and how long. if pack is to be used for a day trip, then yes, it should be fine. if multiple days, were more gear is essential (wet/cold, sleep system, food, water), it may not be enough for two people. only exception may be if both persons are true minimalists ...hope this helps

This is a medium-large backpack. If you are mainly using it for clothes and personal items it will work just fine. Enjoy your trip.

I would say yes. I have taken a smaller version of this pack, the 34, on a 10 day trip. But I am also a big fan of ultralight, and have gone out of my way to make my equipment small. I also did not carry a hammock on that trip. On weekend trips, I put my sleeping bag in those straps on the bottom, and everything else fits easily enough inside or in the side pockets. Part of that depends on what size sleeping bag and tent you have. Normal summer gear should not be a problem.

Dear Nina, I've bought the back pack one, is very light but the room for other stuff is not enough, so you better think about it. Materials are fine and design is cool. Best regards.

I'd say yes, as long as you don't need lots of "wiggle room". This is the best bag I've ever had...super light, and sturdy....

Packed reasonably and conservatively, absolutely! (lot of "y"s there :) Seriously, you have a few options for carrying your tent on the outside of the 2100, I like to use the bottom straps on mine for this purpose. You will want to go very conservative with your sleeping bag, but it's doable. For a week long trip, you will want to seriously plan everything out and see if this is the bag for you. Personally, I love mine for three days trips. I use my TETON Outfitter 4600 for the longer trips ;-)

No, not as your only travel bag. I use mine for hiking, 1-2 days of supplies. But your trip will be much longer so so I think this backpack would be too small for your needs.

Depends on the size but yes it's a roomy bag. Personally I'd strap it to the outside.

i have used it for numerous camp-outs as a boy scout. it has held up for all of them. none of them were serious backpacking trips though. i have had this bag for roughly 2 and a half years.

Definitely. With the rain coat in the bottom it creates a decent 3 inches of padding. Unless you plan on checking the bag you should be fine.
