Hey all, I’m in the search for a new pack, as I’ve pretty much destroyed my current one. Context, my old pack is the Quest Adrift 18L Hydration Pack. Frankly, it was a nice beginner bag when I was 17, but it’s been many many years and it’s far too small and beat up for the adventures I go on… it’s done me good, but time for an upgrade. If I weren’t a broke college student, I would’ve gotten a better one sooner.
Now that I have a little more money, I’d like to get a better bag. I usually do long day trips, never do 2+ as of right now, I’m mostly hiking in the northeast (sometimes central east). Looking for recommendations for a pack that has attachment for a reservoir, not extremely large but large enough to fit everything I need for a long day, good quality, not extremely extremely expensive (nothing 200+ dollars), and bonus points of it’s sold at REI so I can just go in store.
Thanks in advance
