thanks dave. very good to know. i figured if this is a common bag for bikers, then it would certainly accommodate the many accessories necessary.

could someone please comment and/or attach photos of the interiors? there are two zippered compartments, no? within these, are there paneled pockets for sorting and holding smaller items?
i'm looking for an all-purpose bag, i don't have much to bring with me. stuff for my 1-year-old daughter, few items. both for city and for hiking. most importantly, i like to have some organization with where and how my belongings are kept within the bag. mesh outer pockets are a huge plus.
i'm torn between this and osprey's daylite attachment. thoughts?

Osprey Packs Daylite Backpack Attachment - 793cu in
February 6, 2012
hi all, could someone please comment on the inside arrangement? so there's the main compartment. is there any mesh paneling in the main compartment? any smaller pockets? and then there's the front zippered pocket? is it deep - running down the entire length of the bag? and does it have any smaller, paneled pockets?
while i don't have a lot to carry, i like keeping the various small things organized. lastly, does this bag keeps its shape when not filled?
thanks!

hey there, sorry if this is a repeat question...
i'm torn between the medium (72L) and the large (90L) sizes. how well does the large compress down to a smaller volume?

Osprey Packs Exos 46 Backpack - 2600-3000cu in
October 27, 2010
must admit that i cannot recall exact diameters, but you will not be able to fit a typical nalgene into the side pocket - unless the main compartment is mostly empty. for the last extensive trip i did with my pack, i kept a 1 liter platypus (less than full) in one of the pockets. i think playtpus-like bottles will work better than rigid-construction bottles - unless your bottle is of a small diameter.
also, the mesh pockets (with their side access) are fantastic for small things like cameras, maps, etc. i am able to reach around and pull out contents via the side access. very nice...

hi everyone... i am considering this 46L pack, and i would really prefer to not go up to the 58L version. i have read from several accounts that the 46L packs more than it should. might this be because osprey reports only the main compartment's volume? thanks,

Snow Peak Mini Solo Combo Titanium Cookset

this might be a long shot, but...
is this pot too small to fit onto a Clikstand S-2? according to my hand-drawn dimensions of a clikstand (difficult considering its polygon shape), i think the diameter of the pot is too small. but, i would appreciate anyone else giving it a go.

Black Diamond Tripod Bivy Bag
August 28, 2009
i know it's a lot to ask, but could some folks send some pics in of this bivy??? i ask because the massive corporation that black diamond is doesn't bother to give us any insightful pictures of this bivy on their website. i'm aware of the dimensions, but i would like to see an image of the bivy fully unzipped and a shot looking into the hooded area. black diamond never gives us those angles in the product description. cheers!!!

someone please clarify this for me... when the bag is entirely unzipped/opened, is there a layer of mesh that spans rough the opened area? am i making sense? basically, if it is really warm out, can you leave the waterproof layer opened and still be covered by the mesh?
if not, what is the area of mesh that one is allowed? cheers,
