"great daypack!"

Rating:*****
This is one awesome daypack. It's very light, seems durable, and holds a lot of stuff. I absolutely love the side mesh pockets that can each hold a liter water bottle enabling good fluid capacity on longer trips. For such a light pack I can put a TON of stuff in here. Also the outsidemost flexible pouch is great for a light jacket, extra clothes, etc. Overall this is a very well thought out product. My only complaint is that a sternal strap would really help for longer day hikes where one is carrying a lot of water weight. I may just fabricate one myself in fact.

High Osprey Quality! This is a perfect little day-pack that can be used for day hikes, commuting, school, and/or a work briefcase substitute. It holds 3-4 small books (or 1 maybe 2 good sized textbooks) comfortably. So for the college student who carries lots of books/notebooks around you probably want to go with the Cypher or even the next one up in this line. If you don't over-pack it, the weight distribution is excellent. There are plenty of fun pockets and all pockets zip with ease. Like all Osprey products, the quality is high! I'm very happy with my new pack!

"awesome pack for girls...sans the nauseating colors."

Rating:*****
love it...and i love that it's made out of recycled materials. the fit is great...great if you're thin...i kept trying on packs that were wider than my back...and any girls packs i found were in pink...gosh i hate pink. i miss having a chest strap though, that's the only downfall. lots of thoughtful pockets on the inside. like the laptop compartment, my climbing shoes fit perfectly in the very front pouch. it's great for school or for dayhiking. good size...i can definitely cram a ton of stuff in it if need be.

"Best School Pack on the Market"

Rating:*****
Thank you Osprey!! This pack is light and roomy, plus has space for a laptop. Carrying capacity is crucial, because previous packs haven't had enough room for my lunch. Big Uh-oh there, because without my lunch I became moody and ill-mannered. There are two seperate side pockets underneath the front. I can put my PB and Banana sammie on one side without anything else succumbing to the gook factor. Now I am well-fed, happy, and thoroughly satisfied with my rainforest green react backpack. My classmates and professors thank you too.

"This backpack makes everyone jealous."

Rating:*****
This pack rules. It's the perfect size for school books, clothes, or whatever else you want to put into it. It's not a huge pack, so no spine problems, but it's not tiny either. The shoulder straps are totally adjustable, so it fits anyone. 79% of it is recycled too, so it helps the environment. The blue is a great, gender-neutral color, and it goes well with pretty much anything. My son loves it, it was definitely a great purchase!

Great Back Pack

Rating:****
Great bag, unique color (I got the orange) and style. Only one little problem...the outside pockets are zippered from different angles, and the buckle kind of gets in the way when you are filling them. A little small if you want to carry more than a days worth of clothes (good for the gym). I may get the next size up, once this one wears out. Other than that, comfy to wear, good for the environment.

"Very happy with my purchase."

Rating:*****
I love this daypack! It's big enough to carry my books and my lunch to class every day. I used it in a down pour the other day and it kept everything inside pretty dry, only a few damp corners after i set in down. I love the front pocket i pack my jacket in it between classes. Perfect pack for me and I'm helping the environment since its made from recycled materials.

"Great build quality and very light weight."

Rating:*****
I originally bought a North Face Flint daypack. I was looking for something to carry when I took my kids ot the park, zoo, etc. The North Face was OK but I really like the lighter weight of this pack and the fact that Osprey uses a high content of recycled materials. It is a little smaller 1700 v. 1850 but I like the clean lines.

"Great everyday/weekend/day pack."

Rating:*****
I use this pack just about every day. Work, school, the trails, beach, airplane. Good all around bag. It's not huge so if you have a lot of thick books and notebooks to carry-maybe go for something larger. One thing I wish it had is a fully padded laptop sleeve, only the bottom of the compartment is padded. Overall I'm very happy with this pack.

"Great Backpack for Every Day Use"

Rating:*****
Use this for my gym stuff and is definitely big enough for shoes & workout gear. The green is really cute without being obnoxious. I like the fact that it is made from recycled materials. Not that it matters for a backpack, but it is really soft!
