YUMA 18

The shoulder straps sit perfectly on my frame, and the back panel kept me cool on a long sunny hike without any chafing. It's sturdy enough to toss around but light enough that I forget I'm wearing it.

I love how the main compartment opens wide enough to pack my rain jacket and lunch without any struggle. The back padding is surprisingly breathable, even on warm hikes.

Finally a daypack that doesn't dig into my shoulders even when it's fully loaded for a day hike. The women-specific fit makes all the difference, and the water bottle pockets actually hold my bottle securely.
