This daypack seems indestructible.

The yoke harness takes some getting used to but works well. Loads lay nice on the small of your back, not up high. Although not designed with hydra in mind, it can accommodate a 1 liter bag and some gear.

The sternum and waist straps are a bit small. They could be wider. I am 5' 10" @ 204 lbs and the chest straps just barely reach to a comfortable level.

Osprey makes great packs. I have had two and liked them both.
