Osprey Packs Ultralight Stuff 18L Backpack for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

I got this pack for commuting by bike and it's almost perfect, especially for the price. Feather light, comfortable, and great zipper construction. It could use a chest strap. The 'almost' is because the "Air mesh back panel" got my hopes up for better ventilation, which was something I was looking for.

The pros: Lightweight - packs extremely small The cons: No support No chest strap (can't run easily with it) NOT durable Water bottle pouch useless - will drop your standard Nalgene bottle I've taken this bag on a few backpacks to the Adirondacks, as well as an occasional bike ride here or there. I tried taking it on a winter run to hold a layer and some water but ended up just holding it in my hand for the duration. Regarding the durability of this bag. I've had this bag for a little over a year taking it on occasional trips. I found I can't store my keys in the bag without it poking holes in the bottom. Finally after my most recent bike ride with the bag, the whole bag ripped open at the seam. Conclusion: I'll trade it for a drawstring bag

bough this for a 10 day hiking trip in Canada and it was perfect for carrying items for a several hour or half day hike. i put sunglasses case, water, hand wipes, gloves, tissues, camera, and layers. Filled to capacity it did start to give some mild neck discomfort from the straps, but this was only because I think it was overfilled. for a less-full pack, it is very comfortable.

Super stoked on this pack! I use it for the light commute to work, and for the extra packable storage when bikepacking. My favorite use of it so far, is when I need to run errands after wanting to get a ride in...It packs up nicely into my jersey pocket for the ride, then poof!, instant grocery bag!!

Packs down to about the size of your palm, super light, and comfortable to boot. The best summit bag I've used or seen. Just get one already.
