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.

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

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

There Are a number of excellent pouches out there. The best one i hzve used is from best buy on line. One from amazon leaked and killed two iPods

The only way you could do this, is if you fold them in half. The pockets are the size of CD/DVDs.

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.

Maxpedition sells tacties to attach the pocket organizer. They are pretty cheap and hold the organizer on rather well. Getting them off is another story. You can get tacties that match the color of ur gear too. Amazon sells them

Yes. The bladder is completely removable and the pack can be used as a small day pack. Even with the bladder inside, there is still a small bit of zippered storage space. Plenty of room for a snack, small camera, etc.

I will fit over one of the smaller day packs easily. We have not tried it over a full sized pack.

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

There is a small pocket. A larger pouch would be great but it will have to be purchased separtly.

Yes it can. I thought of removing mine, then realized it is much quicker and easier using the belt already provided with the pouch. Don't have to thread your regular belt through it. Much more convenient than another "unbelted" pouch that I have......

Yes you can. But I had purchased it only for the metal part. I changed the bands and the pouch. The original bands and pouch are low quality

The back panel (the bit the actual pouch velcros to) has molle strapping on the rear. This could be used to attach it to a belt. However its designed to be a pretty permanent attachment system (with the rip-away pouch being the bit you remove - leaving the back panel behind). You'd probable have to drop your pants (or at least remove the belt from pants AND panel to take it off.

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.

I bought this as a gift and do not have this available. But I think the pouch would not be big enough. Ck the dimensions of the overall bag.

I wouldn't think so. This pouch was alot smaller than I thought. I never used it for its intended purpose because it was so small.
