Nice little daypack

Was exactly what I was looking for. Nice touch of having a Velcro clip for my water bladder to hold it upright.

Fantastic Day Pack

I bought this to use as my daypack for my recent backpacking trip to The Needles in Canyonlands National Park. I was very pleased with its versatility. It packs down into its own side pocket for easy storage and holds everything needed for a day on the trail. This was my first use, in The Needles, and it didn't disappoint. Frankly, I love just about everything that I have bought from OV. My Ventus hoodie is my overall fav!

Great clothes bag and day hike bag

I asked OV about creating a clothes bag that could be used as a day hike bag. They suggested the 16L Drifter. Works great and is same weight as my other clothes bag. I do several backpacking trips with grandkids where we hike into a lake and the next day we climb a peak. I love the shoulder straps and especially the sternum strap. My only wish is that they made it with more waterproof fabric.

Right for the Task

What I need is an ultralight packable daypack that is there when I need it and virtually invisible when I don’t. Sure, I’ll use this when I go hiking, but I really got it for protest marches and rallies. Pro: Super lightweight, so I’m not exhausted or overheated by too heavy gear. The pockets I need, no more no less: right outside pocket for water, and the left for rain gear (poncho and mini-umbrella); larger interior pocket against my back for notepads, signs, or any item that will give the pack structure; smaller interior pocket at front of pack for things I’ll need in a hurry like earbuds, etc. The straps fit with help of sternum strap so pack stays in place and doesn’t bounce about when I’m moving briskly. Con: Very little structure, so you have to plan for that. Outside pockets are really best suited for <1 Liters bottles. I found my SmartWater bottle far too big for the structureless form to hold up. Still, when you use the pack for what it is, not for what it’s not, then it’s just right for the task.

Ultralight pack for young hikers

Purchased the Drifter 16L for two of my grandchildren that like to experience the outdoors. They are big enough now to carry their own packs on day hikes. Can't think of a better way to introduce my grandchildren to ultralight gear.
