Osprey Archeon 25 Men's Backpack

The Archeon 25L has been the perfect companion on all my hiking trips as of late. Over the past several weeks I've used this backpack from short hiking trails (3-5 miles) to longer 12+-mile trails that have required more intense rock scrambling and moving through brush. This pack has seen me through all of it while holding all the basics and still looking practically new. The pack itself is a standard roll-top. In the front is a large stretchy pocket and to the sides are also stretchy pockets that have fit up to a 40 oz thermos. The interior is just a large space with a pocket for a hydration bladder and small zip-pocket for clipping in keys and holding misc. items. There isn't much interior organization to the pack, but I haven't found that to be a problem since I don't have too many small hiking items that require more pockets. For reference my typical load-out is a small bivy, first-aid kit, lighter, and a tiny mesh bag that contains a squeeze water-filter, a trowel, and some cord. The material is made out of a heavy canvas-like material. This makes it super-sturdy, but at the cost of it being heavier at around 3 lbs. The thick shoulder straps along with the chest and waist straps make this a non-issue for me as it balances the weight well, but the weight is noticeable compared to other packs. The only "complaint" I have is that the back panel isn't as breathable as I would like. There are several thin foam columns that I suppose channel air, but it still gets a little hot and sweaty. All-in-all, its not as bad as using any old backpack, so it is having a noticeable impact, just not as significant as other solutions. All-in-all, I would definitely recommend this pack.
