Osprey Escapist
Best versatile daypack for dedicated mountain bikers and active commuters.
This is the rare pack that handles a chaotic Monday commute as gracefully as a rugged Saturday trail ride. The clever internal divider keeps your gear from becoming a bottomless pit, though the structured design means you sacrifice the flexibility of a traditional, open-bucket daypack.
