EDC Day Pack

| Flag, rope and carabiner not included. |
I just bought the Every Day Carry Day Pack made by Action Gear as a lightweight bag to pack all of the gear and equipment Kait and I like to bring along on our hikes. After receiving the bag in the mail today, I quickly began seeing how everything fit in the bag, and I'm very impressed.
I found the pack on Amazon for $37 and with shipping, the total came to about $54. Considering the cheap price, I'm very happy with the overall quality of the bag. The fabric is 600D polyester and is water and tear resistant. While being a compact bag, it still offers a lot of storage space. There are two main compartments in the back and two smaller compartments at the front of the bag. Inside the main compartments are mesh pockets as well as zippered gear compartments for organization of equipment. The smaller compartment at the bottom of the front of the bag also offers pockets for organizing gear. In addition to these, the bag is covered with MOLLE loops which give you the opportunity to add extra pouches on the outside of the bag or to tie on other equipment such as rope. I plan on purchasing an extra pouch to attach on the front or side of the pack to hold all our first aid equipment so that we don't have to store it inside the bag.
The bag is also quite comfortable to wear, even when filled. Yesterday after the bag arrived, I decided to test it out by loading it with all our first aid and hiking equipment, some heavy textbooks, and a spare jacket and took it with me on a walk. The straps are not heavily padded, yet they are still quite comfortable and don't leave your shoulders aching after wearing the bag for a long duration.
Over all, I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend the bag to anyone who is looking for a small, lightweight day bag that can still hold all your needs. I'm excited to use it more as we explore more trails on the North Shore!
