The quest for the perfect backpack

Although it may have been the most comfortable pack I've ever put on my back, the Osprey 22L Talon proved to be a bit on the small side, and there were not extra compartments for the variety of items I tend to have with me when I'm out and about. Jacket, water bottle, sidewalk chalk...

Because I also have recently bought a bike to commute and to get back into trail-riding (and because I had decided that the perfect pack would have to come from Osprey) I came across this one, the Escapist:



After seeing the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSb0Gji1Uns) and trying it out at the local 'Fjeld og Fritid', I was sold.

I've had it for a couple of weeks now, and I LOVE it. I mean, seriously, I have an emotional attachment to it... It's EXACTLY what I had been looking for with enough room for gear, an athletic fit that prevents gear from 'sloshing' around, and several compartments. Way to go, Osprey!
