How to Pick a Daypack: A Beginner’s Guide
Some girls like buying shoes, others like buying bags, personally, I like buying outdoor gear. Nothing brings me more glee than finding a new piece of equipment to add to my outdoor gear collection. That was how I felt 10 years ago when I decided to retire my small Camelbak for a brand new Osprey pack. I was in seventh heaven. However, when I made that purchase I had no idea what to look for in a daypack. All I knew was I needed to be able to carry at least 100 oz of water. It’s no wonder that I walked out of REI that day the proud new owner of an Osprey Manta 25L daypack which is, by the way, a men’s daypack. Unfortunately, there was no friendly REI employee that day to steer me clear of that purchase. Thankfully, I was young and had money and the pack has worked out great.
But there is no need for you to make the same (expensive) mistake that I did. That’s why today I am sharing with you my beginner’s guide to buying a daypack.
