Backpacks
Osprey Atmos AG 50
It’s the bag on the right here. My long-distance hiking backpack, and I adore it. It’s incredibly comfortable and distributes weight perfectly for me.
There’s 2 features that really stand out for me - the holster-style entry on the side pockets make it really easy to stow and retrieve a bottle, and the loops to stow your hiking poles as you walk without taking the backpack off.
It’s likely going to be my overnight pack for a long time!
Savotta Kahakka 25
My newest day pack, mostly for carrying my camera gear. What a bag! It’s super durable, has incredible side pockets that can bellow out to easily hold a 2l water bottle, and has PALs webbing to make it really extensible. It can hold a camera bag with my camera and monitor, a 2nd bag with batteries & lens, my drone bag and my tripod and still have room for anything else I’ll need on a day hike - lunch, wet weather gear etc.
The big caveat is - there’s no back ventilation so it gets sweaty!
