Osprey Escapist
Best versatile daypack for dedicated mountain bikers and bikepacking enthusiasts.
This pack masterfully bridges the gap between a daily commuter and a dedicated bikepacking rig. Its low-profile, stable design keeps heavy loads glued to your back, though that streamlined fit means you sacrifice some of the cavernous storage space found in bulkier, dedicated touring bags.
