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.

yeah I don't see why not. it's basically just a backpack. I like it a lot. needed to rework some of the straps so they wouldn't pull through the plastic part. sorry, tough to explain. way more carry room than I expected. only complaint would be the waist strap is too small, and I'm not a huge guy. not difficult to take it off and forget about it. I'd absolutely recommend it.

Yes I can. The little pouch is for that purpose. It is indeed a lovely accessory and an hold much more than you'd think.

I've never bothered to detach it as a carried bag, but it's very sturdy and would easily work as you describe. Might be tough to set it down without the panniers flapped out to the side or squashed underneath depending on what you have inside. Because if the velcro strap connection to the rack, it's not the most convenient for removing and re attaching is all.

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

Yes, easily. I've done it. This backpack is smaller than the maximum size allowed. You won't have a problem

Yes it is detachable but the buckles, will appear on each side of the carrying bag after it is detached, which will make it unattractive.

Sorry, can not say. The pouch is extremely well built with quality materials

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

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 have the pockets on the inside- but do not know if the attachment can be reversed- no reason to try.

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

I don't see why not. we go on day trips and it carrys everything we need and we have yet to use the expandable sides.we also took 2 7" tarp straps and hook them to the front of the rack and pulled them underneath and hooked them to the shoulder strap ring on the back it really cuts down on the vibration of the bag as we take our camera and phone with us. we're really happy with the bag

The way I see it you have a couple options. If your backpack doesn't have a water bladder port then you can try fitting it into the main compartment of your pack and run the hose out of the pack zipping the two zippers snuggly around the hose. If you decide to do this I would put the water bladder in a big 1 pound ziplock bag to ensure no water leaks out on your other items. Or I advise buying a backpack that has a dedicated water bladder port that is made to hold this item and has a small hole for the hose to run out of. Most backpacking bags have these water bladder pouches now adays. Look at the condor 3 day tactical bag for a cheap(er) pack. Hope this helps you. The way I see it you have a couple options.

I've been using mine as a cross-body or shoulder bag, I don't see where it can convert into a backpack. I really like it though, it's very durable. I use it as an everyday bag by removing the insert.

I don't know about disposable options, but I did find there are other re-usable pouches that fit the machine. You can use, wash and re-use.
