I am on the search for a new backpack for my commute and day hiking since I am starting to hate my current backpack. Ideally, I am looking for something that I can use for bring my lunch and other work stuff to the office, and use for day hiking. Below are the requirements for my new backpack. If people have a bag they like and use the same way I do, let me know!
Ideally 22-25L
Waist belt (padded or webbing)
durable enough for day hiking and commuting
hydration bladder compatible (preferred)
So far I have looked at Mystery Ranch and Osprey but I am open to other brands!
