Yes, I know this subject has been done to death. But, this was a particularly well written and researched article. So, I thought it would be helpful.

I hope this helps.

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Before even reading it, thanks. You are very thoughtful And generous in sharing information.
