DESCRIPTION

Grab the Osprey Escapist 18 and play hooky from work this afternoon. Anchored by a BioStretch™ harness and hipbelt, this low-profile pack is designed to keep the load balanced when descending rough terrain. The Airscape™ mesh backpanel provides ventilation when you’re grinding up the pass.

Access to the main compartment comes via a convenient zippered front panel so you can see your gear at a glance. An internal divider creates segregated storage for anything you want to prevent from commingling—post-ride clothing or perhaps a pair of sandals— with the rest of your gear.

Additional features include a myriad of external storage options starting with three handy stretch mesh pockets—one on each side and another in the front. The hip belt has twin zippered pockets for snacks and there’s a phone-sized pocket on the shoulder strap. A zippered external front pocket keeps valuables secure and a special non-scratch glasses pocket protects your shades. The external hydration sleeve makes for easy reservoir refills.

If you’re out after sunset, this pack features reflective accents and a blinker light attachment point for extra visibility. And if a sudden storm rolls in, there’s an integrated raincover always stowed in the bottom of the pack.

Great pack for day hike/bike commuting

I've used the pack on a few hikes, with 2L water bladder, and it works great! I also use it as a bike commuting pack daily and the helmet clip is wonderful. Lightweight, back breaths nicely (but I'm also not a very sweaty guy), but after a hilly Seattle bike commute, my back is wet as expected though. Chest pocket is useless for a phone, but does just barely fit my sunglasses in it.

Pros: -Detachable rain cover (also it's neon yellow/green which is nice for visibility purposes)
- Helmet clip
- Protected sunglass/phone pocket
- Main compartment fits everything I need ( 32oz water bottle, which also fits in the side mesh pockets, bike pump, extra layers, lunch for work)
- Secondary pocket is nice for smaller things, organizer for keys/wallet/hex wrench and more.

Cons: - Would have liked the back support to be a little more sturdy (I was torn between buying this pack and the comparable sized Manta AG, but got this pack for half of the price and it is definitely worth getting a little hotter for half the price)
- Chest pocket functionality is minimal
