Ozark Trail Juniper 14 L Daypack, Green, Teens to Adults + Ozark Trail 18 oz Tritan Flip-Top Water Bottle, Gray

If you are looking for a small, light duty day pack, this one fits the bill perfectly. It is made of thinner denier polyester with off brand zippers, so don't expect this to take a lot of abuse compared to tactical packs or higher denier packs made with nylon. The thing this pack does excel at are the features. Including dual water bottle pockets, a front spacious side zippered pouch, comfortable ring style zipper pulls, a hydration bladder holder and three features you do not normall find on lower end packs: a sternum strap AND a hip belt plus a hydration pouch AND a hose port you can snake the hose down from either side. Two big cons: 1. The hydration port opening is VERY small, so don't expect to be able to use a Camelbak bladder or similiar as the hose bite valve will not fit. 2. There is no horizontal front pocket that you normal find for holding pencils, pens etc. This is a hiking pack, not a school pack. All in all, a great pack for those who like the 14 liter size and and perfect for short hikes!

Love this pack!! I forgot to pack my lightweight backpack on a recent snowshoe hiking trip. I bought this one to get me by. The construction and workmanship on this little inexpensive pack is very good. This pack has a nice roomy pouch accessible with 2 zippers across the top. There is also a slimmer pouch accessed by one zipper also across the top. This would fit a hydration bladder and there is a hole for the tube. The pack also has a small pocket accessible on the front which is lined with a soft fabric, perfect to stack glasses or goggles and not worry about scratches. Finally, also on the front is a vertical accessible pocket with a clip to hold keys. This pocket is great to stash trail maps or other smaller or flat objects with quick access (money, ID, etc.). There are two pockets on rack side capable of holding my 24 oz Yeti water bottles with straps to securely hold them. Finally there is a firmly stitched vertical strip along the front so if you want to attach something with a carabiner you can do so. I liked this pack so much I bought a second. The ONLY downside is that this only comes in one color. When I bought this I didn't care for the color but I love this little pack so much the color has grown on me. And I plan on bringing it with me this coming summer as I try it out on some day hikes in the Tetons!! And by the way, as an avid hiker I have invested in big name packs (Gregory, Osprey) and for the size and money, this one wins!
