osprey 20l daylite plus - or used as a standalone to have around town or as a summit pack Daylite™ Plus 20L Backpack |

This two-part look is a little unusual, but if it delivers greater performance then Im all for it

A lot of Filsons stuff, like everything else, has been offshored, but a few core products are still done stateside

(We were able to rip the fabric, but unless you get into a lot of knife fights, you wont have an issue.) The extra-tough fabric and plethora of pockets means its on the bulky side, though

Interior: moir and microfibre lining with a suedelike finish

We also wore them for some daily rides and commutes, to see how user-friendly they are and whether they make our list of the best hip packs.

Three additional fleece-lined pockets provide soft homes for sunglasses, phones and headphones
