Why do you waste your time posting this in every Osprey thread?
Not a bad bag for a day hike, particularly in warmer months. A few minor gripes from my last few months with the 30L bag:

- If you want to bring a water bottle instead of the bladder, this version does not have the mesh side pouches to accommodate that. Instead, they are zippered side pouches which feel like they go in the wrong direction. Putting your water bottle in there does not feel secured, so I put my water bottle in the main compartment, which means asking my hiking partner politely to grab it for me or just taking my bag off. I believe the updated version (which is more expensive) has side mesh pockets.

- You're working with one main compartment, and two side pouches. If you're wanting multiple compartments to work with so you don't have to dig for items, it's limiting.

That being said, I like this bag and it's overall a good step up from my smaller Osprey Hikelite bag. With the included reservoir, it's a fair price.
It is for day hikes, not for overnight backpacking.

Osprey bladders are the best in my opinion. Best warranty and compatibility.

Camelbak is ok but poor compatibility with filters, attachments, etc

The 30L capacity might be alight for someone with all ultralight compact gear, but the hip belt doesn't seem very substantial for carrying a load. They make 30-45L packs that are well set up for overnights, but this one definitely seems tailored towards day hikes. 30L will be too small for the majority to think about overnighting.

Do you pack for an overnight trip every time you step out your front door?

Yeah, but does your bag have a Punisher patch on it?
