Good pack for 2-3 days hike? First time for backpacking, done a lot of hiking, and need a good starter pack for a 3 day hike.

There's plenty of room, but I couldn't get the straps far enough away from the waist belt. Because of that, I ended up carrying a lot of weight on my shoulders. The waist belt isn't very good either. I bought a different pack for hiking and gave this to my kids to use a duffel bag.

Absolutely i can fit a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, one man tent, cook pot, and some changes of clothes easily in this pack. Raingear, first aid kit, bottle of booze, etc. it all fits well. I think this could pack could be used for 5-6 days comfortably if you only take what you actually need and pack effeciently.

Yes its a perfect pack for a 2-3 or more day hike. I personally did a 4 night hike with this pack and it was awesome. Youtube has some good reviews of this pack that are convincing. The sleeping bag compartment won't hold your sleeping bag unless you plan on just using a thin bed sheet. Its a great starter pack that will last quite a while.

I've had this backpack for years and have done 8 day backpacking trips with this pack through all types of weather. It's a great buy!

Great pack for 2-3 days hike. Durable with lots of space. There is a sleeping bag compartment on the bottom, a lot of pockets to separate items for easy finding, and there is a water pouch slot where you can put your water pouch along with a hole for the drinking tube. I would highly recommend!

This pack will be great for a hike of that duration. My wife and I used one each on an overnight hike bringing WAY more than we needed and they were excellent.

I went with the Camelbak Thermobak 100ml mil spec tactical hydration pack. It's a stand alone back pack hydration system that I strap inside tight to the Condor 3 day assault pack with the inside straps and have it pressed next to my back inside the the backpack. Run the hydration tube hose up thru one of three holes out the top of the pack and around to the front. I like the Camelbak because it gives my the versatility to pull the hydration system out of the pack and wear it alone on over my shoulders and back in times when I don't need a backpack, just hydration, hope this helps. Your going to spend more, but it's worth it to have the durability and versatility. Hope this helps

This is a 1600 Cu In. bag, overall storage space. However, given this has a 3L bladder, it can take up a decent amount of space in the main compartment. I have no problem fitting food, water, first aid, some clothing, and other supplies for a decent length day hike. However, like another comment stated, unless you are a true minimalist hiker, I wouldnt recommend this for overnight trips.

The pack does not come with a chest or waist strap, but I found some after-market ones you can buy on Amazon for a few bucks. I wouldn't recommend using this backpack on a long hike either way though as the hardened bottom bouncing against your lower back or butt gets a little annoying. It's great for short hikes, airplane travel, and day trips where you'll be able to take it off often, but rigorous hikes are better left to different camera bags, in my opinion.

If you're young and strong and on a budget, it would be good. It is larger and heavier than it should be for backpacking. If you're doing a long trip, weight is a concern or you want more room in your pack then it's not ideal.

It doesn't have to go with any particular pack. It is fairly large though. So a full size backpack that is hydration ready would be best.

I wouldn't put more than 20lbs of gear in this pack. This pack is really only meant for day excursions.

Yeah! A perfect 3day pack. I hiked the npt trail with it 2 summers ago, which consisted of 9 days with food, tent, sleeping bag and rain gear, and It was maxed for space, but still comfy all 9days.

It depends on how you pack your gear, but it isn't bad. I wouldn't want to take it on a 10 mile hike, but for taking out into the desert or woods to shoot, you can carry it a bit. Just make sure the heavy stuff is stacked towards the lower part/small of your back. Higher up it sways to much.

I really like the Osprey Reservoir and it has heald up well in multiple backpacking situations for me. I have the 2.5 L for my 45L Osprey pack and that is the most that I think I could fit in that pack. I would say try either the 2 L for your 22 L pack if you want the biggest that might fit or the 1.5 L likely would for sure fit. If to big, you should be able to return or just not fill it completely full likely would work too.

Just got back from four days hiking and photographing in southern Utah. This was my first trip with this back pack and I was able to carry three 500ml bottles of water in the upper pocket. I carried my primary camera, a back up body and lens, and still had room for snacks along with my carbon fiber tripod. My greatest length hike was probably close to four hours over very rough terrain and the pack was pretty comfortable. One could probably configure the main compartment to carry less photo equipment and more water but it would begin to get pretty heavy. Mine weighed about 13 pounds which for a 71 year old was plenty.

eBags are good and a good value, as are Rick Steves's mesh cubes (they have the advantage of stiffeners to hold them open when packing). However if you can afford them I highly recommend a set of the Eagle Creek sil-nylon Pack-It Specter Cubes. These are extremely lightweight, strong and unlike most cubes they're water resistant. Worth the bucks. Get a basic set now and perhaps in the future by one or two more individual bags to best utilize the remaining space in your bag. These work well using the roll method to pack. See YouTube for tutorials on "Ranger Rolling" clothes. Don't forget disposable T-shirt shopping bags for shoe covers.Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Specter Cube Set, White, One Size eBags are good and a good value, as are Rick Steves's mesh cubes (they have the advantage of stiffeners to hold them open when packing).

Th pack I purchased would be great for those needs. It is light weight and carried what we needed on our Alaska trip: two rain ponchos, camera, snacks. water, and misc. items.

It's pretty small, good for a day pack. You'd be pushing it to pack enough in it for an overnight trip.

We have packed enough food for a four to five day hike with our dog (~60lbs). I would say a good 8 cups of dog food would fit. However, I recommend buying dog food "tubes" which are dense and small packed dog food. The dog gets 1/2 a tube per day (we supplement with some dry dog food and treats). You can buy them at any dog food store. The pack will fit not just the food, but bones, snacks, and a collapsable dog food bowl.

I think it is a great pack for the price. it has multipule adjustment straps. I've only used it twice so far this year, I've used it on a 8.5 mile and a 7.2 mile so far so. good.

I've taken mine on a number of rides, in good weather and bad. The last time I took them on a rainy trip, they held up well for two days (it rained one day and one night.) The contents inside were dry, so they'll handle the rain. I'm not going to say they're waterproof, since if you drop them in a lake of water the contents will get wet. But they'll be fine in the rain (and mud!) Honestly, they're nice to have. They hold a good amount of gear. Between them, a camelback, and some ultralight backpacking gear, you can easily store what you need too and them some! They'll be going with me again on the C&O Canal this spring/summer. Ohhh, they won't hold a bed roll, they're not deep enough. But a small sleeping bag should fit nicely, mine fit, but then didn't provide for much additional storage (except for the outside pockets.)
