Osprey Escapist

4.6

Best versatile daypack for dedicated mountain bikers and bike commuters.

This pack is the rare hybrid that actually succeeds at both cycling and hiking. By shifting the weight to your sit-bones, it stays locked in place during aggressive rides, though that specialized structure makes it feel slightly more rigid than a traditional, unstructured daypack.
