Bandit

Great EDC

I purchased this backpack as a half-day hiking pack and everyday carry bag for essential items. I wanted something that wasn't too large or too small, and this pack fits nicely in the middle while remaining lightweight and comfortable to carry. The overall quality appears to be good, although I haven't had the opportunity to test it extensively in harsh hiking or camping conditions, so I'm unsure how it will hold up to heavy use over time. My biggest drawback is the price, which I feel is a bit high for what the bag offers. That said, it does provide a good balance of size, weight, and functionality for everyday use. Overall, I would recommend this backpack to anyone looking for a versatile, lightweight pack that works well for both daily carry and short outdoor trips.

Best day-hike pack out there

Too many packs of this size have tradeoffs (for example, if you want light weight, you give up durability), but that's not the case with the Bandit. Even with a large water bottle and other essentials for day hiking, I can barely tell it's there because of the adjustable and customizable nature of the entire pack. Kudos to the Eberlestock designers for including so many critical features in such a small package...this truly is a home run and wish I'd found it sooner.

Got it for motorcycle riding snd hiking. Absolutely loving it. Definitely purchasing a bigger bag but this little guys is perfect for daily carry and for some water snacks and stuff you dont want in your pockets. Fits hoodies and so much more. Great quality too.
