Honest, field-minded reviews of outdoor and safety gear.
The Osprey Eja 58 is a women’s backpacking pack with a suspended mesh back, an adjustable torso and a full frame at 2 pounds 11 ounces (1.22 kg). It carries about 35 pounds (16 kg) or less comfortably; the hip belt is thin and fixed in shape.
A daypack is the bag you actually live out of on the trail, so fit and comfort matter more than any single feature. The Osprey Talon 22 is our pick for an all-day hiking pack that also doubles as a travel carry-on: it carries beautifully, adjusts to your back, and is built to last. Owners keep coming back to the brand.
