I guess the correct term is a &#8220;day pack&#8221; as it is big enough to carry the things you need in a day hike. I carried food, camera, band-aids, sun block, bandannas, extra clothing, sometimes a computer, pencil and paper, spotting scope, (most important) drinks, and, well if I think long enough I can think of something else that I carried. (I seemed to always carry more than I needed.)<\/p>\n<p>For me, the true test of quality on a backpack are the zippers. I zipped, unzipped, re-zipped the zippers on this pack half a dozen times a day. No snags, no slips, no problems of any kind.<\/p>\n<p>I bought this pack on sale for $20 locally. One of the best purchases in my life when you calculate miles per dollar or something like that.<\/p>\n<p>I looked at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eddiebauer.com\/catalog\/search.jsp?N=0&amp;Ntk=IALL&amp;Ntt=trailhead&amp;Nr=REG%3aY&amp;Nty=1&amp;Ntx=mode+matchpartialmax&amp;D=trailhead&amp;Dx=mode+matchpartialmax&amp;cm_se=trailhead_All&amp;init=1\">Eddie Bauer&#8217;s web site<\/a>. They still sell this model of pack.
