JanSport Odyssey Approach Day Pack
Reviewers agree, the JanSport Odyssey Approach day pack is the ultimate. Roomy and sturdy enough for the trail, yet stylish enough for school, this is the best day pack for quality and versatility.
This pack's back panel keeps pack contents from poking you in the back, and built-in channels direct air flow to your back to help keep you cool; the shoulder straps are also highly ventilated. Compression straps allow you to snug down the load when the pack isn't completely full.
The Odyssey Approach has two large main compartments to hold everything you'd want on a day hike, and there's even a hydration sleeve to hold a reservoir up to three liters. If that's not enough water, there are two mesh bottle pockets. An extra-handy feature is the stretch fabric pocket on the waist belt, just right for a digital camera.
Sized to fit even a smaller-framed body, JanSport's Odyssey Approach day pack transitions easily from the trail to the classroom or to the overnight train to Paris with its waist belt that can be tucked away when you don't need it.
