Third Osprey pack I have owned , needed a good quality day pack for longer hikes of half or full day and this pack fits the bill. Hydration bladder included and works great, plenty of organization without too many unneeded pockets, dual entry side mesh water bottle pockets keep your large water bottles reachable when in the forward facing position. Arrived in mail one day, took it on a 9 mile hike in the pouring rain and was thankful for the included rain cover that kept contents and pack dry. Airescape back panel very similar to my Osprey Atmos 50 AG was high on the list of reasons for purchasing this pack. Compared to other highly rated daypacks, the Manta 24 is a heavier pack, but the extra pound or pound and a half is negated by the comfort this pack provides and how the pack carries 10-15 lbs of gear without the pack pulling down and back from you the way most lighter weight day packs do. Combine the comfortable ride, even when loaded with the best ventilation in a day pack, and I guarantee this will be your favorite day pack. Was torn between the Stratos 24, the Talon 22 and the Manta 24, but the frame on the Manta vs no frame on the Talon narrowed it down, the Stratos was a close 2nd choice, but I knew the mesh stretch pocket on the back of my Atmos 50 gets used for so many last minute or wet items, as well as easy to access gear, the Manta 24 just seemed to hit all my wants and needs. If you need a good, quality day pack and can afford the extra dollars, remember you are getting a $30 Osprey bladder and are getting a premium day pack that handle a days worth of gear and even warm weather overnighter with the right lightweight gear.

Got this pack to replace a 20L from another brand. This is my third Osprey bag (130L, 42L, and now 24L) and they don’t disappoint.PROS:1. The amount of features this pack has is amazing and more features continue to pop out as I use it.2. Quality material. I’m not worried about ripping this one, and if I do, Osprey’s warranty is great.3. The size is perfect. It is noticeably a bit larger than the 20L I was using, but it is still pretty compact yet holds quite a bit. It’s a perfect size if you need space but do not want to carry a large pack. I can fit my survival gear/ what I need for a day hike, 2 moderately full packing cubes, and a toiletry bag. (I thought it was kinda a gimmick but the stretch pocket on the outside does hold my rain jacket perfectly and saves me from using internal space for it)3. The AirSpeed suspension system is AMAZING! Its’ straps are adjustable almost like my Mystery Ranch bag and the mesh keeps your back from getting drenched in sweat.4. The side/front-facing water bottle holders are pretty convenient.5. The dedicated water bladder compartment is useful. In the bottom corners, you can stuff things (pack of 45 baby wipes, packs of tuna, gloves) and they tuck away into a and don’t interfere with the rest of the packing space.CONS:1. My biggest complaint is the side facing organization pocket. There essentially is no organization and the opening is a bit small. The slanted mesh pocket is nice but it’s just one big pocket and anything you put in there will just lump up at the bottom. The pocket itself is actually a pretty decent sized so it’s kinda a shame Osprey didn’t include more mesh pouches in there.—–Work Around: Osprey’s Tool Roll makes a great little organizer. I decided to sow in a small D-ring into the top of the pocket and clip it in. I used some braided fishing line and attached it through the liner and into the bags pre-existing fortified seam. Now the Tool Roll stashes up and out of the way and actually swings out of the bag for easy access and I don’t even need to disconnect anything.2. It’s minor but the water hose is kinda unwieldy… I don’t like it looping down and across my chest or have itballing up inside the pack so I ended up cutting it to shorten it.

I purchased this 24 liter pack for day hikes with the intent of carrying 20 lbs. or enough water and gear for any contingency which it does. The 2.5 liter hydration pack works perfectly as designed. The large zippered back panel provides easy access to gear which also has an included large side zippered panel in it. There is also a small included zippered insulated pocket at the top of the large panel useful for more sensitive gear. I never used the included rain cover enclosed in a zippered compartment at the bottom of the bag (but has easy quick access) as of yet. The pack with 20 or 25 lbs is quite comfortable due to its internal frame distributing the weigh to the hip areas. I am an older backpacker (age 69) with aged lower back disks and comfort is highly significant for long hikes. The only issue is that I also carry a water bottle with electrolyte formula for hot days but given this is a hydration bladder pack there was no design intent to add an easy access to these side pouches included on the pack for a carried bottle thus one needs to purchase a separate waist or strap pouch. I recommend this bag for those who want to carry the amount of gear necessary to be prepared for any contingency day hikes. I would give this bag a 4.6 rating overall for my intents.

Got this for my son when he hiked with a 4-H group to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back. It was recommended that the kids have daypacks with hip belts. His usual hydration pack was probably not going to be very comfortable for the long haul. This one worked great for him. A good, supportive day pack with integrated hydration. Perfect.
