Perfection in a day pack
After 7 years of daily use and service it's time to replace my steadfast friend, my Tempest 6, and nothing else will do but another just the same. My original has lost some of its structure, is irrevocably dirty, and has faded out to an unappealing color. I hate to say goodbye to it. As you can see from the photos I haven't put the new one on the trails yet, but have noticed a few changes: The front buckle is more robust, but that means it will be more difficult to tie my whistle on the ends of those straps. The carry / grab handle up top is tiny, which I don't like. The side pockets seem a little bigger, which is appreciated. I remove the Airscape panel myself, but you might like it. It's very comfortable for a four hour hike and holds everything I need: gloves, hat, sunscreen, snack, small flashlight, first aid supplies, tissues, and nothing you don't need. HIghly, highly recommend!
Awkward
Really awkward. The water bottle pockets are way in the back. There's no loop to grab onto the pack. I used an LLBean waistpack for decades, and it finally gave up the ghost. No comparison. This one is being returned to REI.
iPhone 8+ fits; water bottle situation could use some work
I asked this question below and was told no, but I'm glad I ordered it to see for myself because it fits just fine with no tugging or struggle and even a little room to spare. Everyone loves Osprey packs (my husband included) but they've never fit well for me personally. This one is an exception because its a waist pack. I took a star off because of the water bottle situation. It doesn't make sense to not have water bottle holders that either A) Have a circumference that fits a standard Nalgene bottle or B) Has elastic stabilizers that will secure a taller, narrower bottle that fits circumferentially As it stands, the Nalgene won't fit and the taller bottles can't be secured. I guess I'll have to just take out a couple small standard water bottles and that kind of sucks, but I haven't found a better alternative in waistpacks so...
Comfortable, but very limited capacity
I find the capacity to be just too limited. The water bottle pockets do NOT fit nalgene sized bottles and once any type of bottle is in the pockets, it becomes very difficult to access the main pocket. It is a good size if you aren't carrying any water, but that nixes most of its uses as a short day hiking pack. I like the idea of this more than the actual use of it.
my favorite day pack
So comfortable, and keeps my back cool on a hot day, this bag is my go to. I see there are some complaints on not being able to use a nalgene bottle. I used bike water bottles and they fit great. It fits everything I have and has just enough room to be prepared for anything.
