Gregory Swift 30 Hydration Pack - Women's - 3 Liters vs Osprey Daylite Plus Pack

There is one main pocket, a rear hydration pocket, a front pocket which is the full height of the backpack with a zippered internal pocket at the top (seen in the video), plus an additional smaller pocket towards the back of the pack that would fit a cell phone, sunglasses, etc.

So first off, you've got, of course it's going to be on the other side. You've got a little front pocket on the front. Traditional, you know, hip stra...

Here are the downsides, though, which made this a very frustrating pack for me when I used it in Colorado the last 12 days:

I'll go over them here and the bag costs 70 U.s or for me 95 Canadian. And now let's go over the bags. So right on the front here, you can pull open t...

The 18 inches is real and can easily be squished down an inch or so if your airline is really picky. My 15.6 laptop in its case fits easily. And as a bonus, it is a really good about town bag with a decent harness design, nice top packet, compression straps

It's also means have to keep more things in the main compartment, all jumbled together. But, if my deal-breakers aren't important to you, it may be a great bag. The straps are well-designed, and the laptop pocket is padded. I've been carrying my laptop in an older Osprey bag which has a very similar pocket without padding (probably not originally designed for a laptop) and I do really like that bag

Zippers easy to use. Easy to slip on/off when needed, no wrestling with your straps and arms. The back has a slight frame which is nice, I think it adds to comfort. Very, very comfortable, wore for 4 hrs straight, and no discomfort

Pros: Very well ventilated shoulder straps and backing. Sleek design with nice cinch straps. Nice size main compartment and mid pocket. Zippers don't snag and seem of very good quality with pull attachments on each zipper(very nice not chintzy)
