Deuter DS Hike 20 Backpack - 1120cu in
A great daypack

This is a wonderful daypack. The side pockets are large enough for my aluminum liter water bottles without them falling out. The outer material is stitched with reflective seams that help in low-light conditions.
The narrow pack designs prevents the pack from swaying against one's arms while hiking.
The back panel has the trademarked "deuter aircomfort" mesh that truly keeps the pack away from your back so that your back can ventilate better. the hip belt is nicely padded and both the belt and the shoulder straps are easily adjusted for that personal fit. The overflap has a small pocket large enough for keys, wallet or a small snack. Inside the main compartment is a rainproof zippered pocket for more important documents or hiking stuff.
All the essentials fit into this pack: a jacket, perhaps a blancket and emergency gear and plenty of food to hold one over for the day.
