Deuter Futura 28 Backpack - 1700cu in
Futura 28

Ranked #552 - Daypacks - Technical

Quite honestly - don't like it. It's definitely not for in-town use. If anything, it's for treks and adventure travel. Awkward to handle and too difficult to place something in due to its curviness and narrow profile. It takes features from a march larger pack and applies them to a daypack. This is overkill. It has all sorts of hidden pockets just what paranoid yuppies would go for. For one-third the price you can get an Eddie Bauer simple daypack that's easier to manipulate and carry around. It has few frills but it's easier to deal with.
