    See I find that what I had considered a daypack 3,300 c.i. is really a common backpack.

    Lady B. I never really thought of it, but I guess my 18.5 pound pack at 3,300 c.i. really is my every day carry.
    SD, what do you do every day to need to carry that much weight?
    Sounds like a lot to me but then I don't do 10 mile hikes in the wilderness every day. My EDC in the urban jungle is 5lbs max, the heaviest item being a bottle of H2O.

    Keep in mind the problem may be extremely complicated, though the "Fix" is often simple...

    CS - The one Rick posted looks similar. The Maxpedition costs quite a bit more. Here is there Versa Pack page. http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/Versipacks-c4.htm

    I've been looking at some of their Gear Slinger packs. I like the way the ride. They can rotate quickly to the front for access to a CCW. http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/...-Series-c2.htm

    Hey, I didn't endorse anything. I just helped you get it up. What I mean to say is....now look what you've done.

    I cannot speak to the quality and features of the one from Sportsman Guide. The Maxpeditions are built like tanks.

    Subs. Submarines. Tanks go on land. They don't hold water. Built like a sub. You old guys keep straying.

    I can't either but I'll give it a go based on the reviews it looks to be a value. I checked the maxpedition site you posted and wow those are real nice..This will do to see if I like the carry method. But yeah! those are real nice!

    I don't do ten miles everyday. Typical is 2 to 4 miles. Yesterday I did a bunch, and was whipped today. So today is just sat in the sun, ate fresh red salmon and pumped a little iron.

    Crash...check out the Hipster, the reviews say it is comparable to the Maxpedition... I ordered 3 of the sidekicks..@ 18 ozs... I liked it! The Hipster seamed bulky but very well made...might save ya some bucks! It is over a pound but I suspect the Maxpedition is too....

    Maxpedition products are extremely heavy duty, but check this place out before you buy! Low S & H as well!

    Well, i'll add my four penny worth'. From the various answers given, there appears to be no one definition of a Day Pack. It seems to mean different things to different people depending on their location and what they are doing or where they are going to.
    My definition of a Day pack is one that holds a few bits and peices I consider prudent to take with me when I go out for a walk. Your Day Pack will obviously vary in contents from mine because our geographical locations are so different. I don't see that weight of the pack has anything to do with it. It's the contents that count. JMO

    My Rucksack TT Mission Bag from Tasmanian Tiger is my all around pack. Mine has gone everywhere(and I do mean everywhere) with me. It's just short of 1900 CI and can be built on with the right idea or 2 with the webbing. I was lucky enough to find this at a PX in country, but if your fortunate enough to find anything from Tasmanian Tiger, take a serious look at it.
