Christine is an AMAZING reviewer!!! She's so meticulous and shares all the details which I absolutely appreciate! I really like the point about the shoulder straps

[@stephaniebarrows5428]

I recently returned to using Osprey as my primary errand bag. I enjoy so many aspects of the Arcane XL pack, especially the J-Zip, middle compartment, and separate laptop sleeve. As a musician/bus commuter, it’s great to find a bag that’s long enough for my flute, music and laptop, in addition to other supplies like clothing and books. It fits a lot of groceries, too, although the weird straps (& lack of hip belt/chest straps) limit its utility in that area. It’d be a great travel bag, if Osprey fixed the shoulder straps and added a hip belt and chest straps.

I like this lady! She's a great communicator and seems like she must be some kind of teacher or trainer :).

[@PackHacker2]

Thank you for your kind words 😃 I’ll pass them along! -Eric

[@stephaniebarrows5428]

True! She speaks intelligently and thoroughly covers various aspects of the bag. I like how she shares her opinions. And, she doesn’t sound like a whiny valley girl with a bad case of vocal fry, like some reviewers do.

[@jasonwardofficial]

You do some of the best reviews. Appreciate your style and thoroughness.

[@PackHacker2]

Thank you for your kind words 😃 We’ll see you in the next one! -Eric

[@arijeanz]

that shoulder strap design is such a huge design flaw and yet i don't think i would've caught it if it wasn't for this review. tysm for the video!!

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching, Ari! 😃 -Eric

[@YaYaLee]

I literally had this pack in my cart to purchase, then thought watch a review first and I’m glad I did. Not standing, no water bottle pocket, the thin area at the neck and the long side of the zipper on the opposite side made the decision much easier - it’s a no go. Thanks Pack Hacker! I hope Osprey puts out a newer version soon

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for checking it out, Lee! 😃 -Eric

[@pepperread1184]

I’m with you on the J-zip.

[@dietitianrobert5460]

Thanks for your review!

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching!

[@jumpskirt]

Great review - much appreciated!

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching! 😃 -Eric

[@nicola6234]

Those clips on the straps would also be great to easily hang it off the handle of a stroller. Love the minimalist design

[@PackHacker2]

That’s a great idea, Nicola! Which colorway would you go with? -Eric

[@lepetitchat123]

does your back sweat a lot when you wear this?

[@wedg_]

Is the acorn red really that bright? All the images on the osprey website and resellers seem to indicate a much darker shade (I prefer the lighter shade shown in this video!), is that just a weird inaccurate photo on osprey's part? A colour balance issue on your part? Or have you got a different bag/acorn red than shown on the website? Or maybe the dye on the bag is just really weird and depends on the lighting?

[@PackHacker2]

Depending on how harsh the lighting is, the color will look different. We have very bright lights in the studio so we can showcase every feature-so this gives the bag a different shade. In darker light, it will have a deeper color. The same can be seen on a sunny day or an overcast day! See the full review for more images: packhacker.com/travel-gear/osprey/arcane-small-day/ -Eric

[@bobo9085]

Can you guys do a review of the Eddie Bauer Packable Rainfoil Jacket? It’s very affordable so I would love to see a review but can’t seem to find any on KZbin. Thanks for your time, LOVE THE CONTENT! Has really helped me prepare for my 4 month backpacking trip!

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for the recommendation 😃 I’ll pass it along! We can’t wait to hear about your trip! -Eric

[@tuomi1154]

There's a third size, XL

[@PlainsAyu]

Is there any small woman backpack just for ipad mini, keys, tissues, (with water bottle holder)?

[@es_eltiti]

That's what I'm looking for too. The north face mini borealis fits your description but the water bottle holder is quite small

[@piapulmano1350]

How much could you fit in this bag? Could you fit clothes, books, a file case and a laptop in here?

[@PackHacker2]

It’s pretty little, so smaller goods are a better bet! -Eric

[@HisGraceHisGlory]

Review the Osprey Daylite sling.

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for the recommendation 😃 I’ll pass it along! -Eric
