Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If debating whether to get this or the Sea to Summit I can explain the differences. The Osprey is “better” and has mesh straps, an outer water bottle pocket and generally feels more “full featured.” However, it doesn’t pack down nearly as compactly as the Sea to Summit. If you want to carry a backpack in your pants pocket the Sea to Summit is best. If you are using it as a daypack while traveling and are putting it in your larger duffel bag or luggage go Osprey. If you have cargo pockets on your pants the Osprey would also be the best option. The Sea to Summit basically only “wins” if you want the smallest size packed so that you can have an “emergency” backpack with you at all times
