Awesome day-pack, used and abused on many multi-pitch rock climbs. Clings like a monkey on my back during mountain bike rides.
Tough enough to withstand being used as a haul-bag on all day climbs. Holds water and gear for long desert day hikes. Best day pack I have ever used....by far.

Lowe Alpine Contour 25 (decent pack)

I picked up the Runout about a year and a half ago, and I have been using it nonstop. This pack is the perfect size for summer day hikes, multipitch rock/ice climbs, or even day winter mountaineering trips.

I especially like the side access zipper so my climbing partener can easily get to any gear that I am carrying. Also there is a clip in the top pouch which is very convienent for attaching my car keys so I don't loose them. Like my other Gregory packs, I am extremely impressed with the Runout.

Great pack, simplistic and staight forward. Perfectly sized for summer
cragging and ultra light alpine routes.

Great medium sized pack, that has many different uses. Very comfortable to carry. The side zipper is great for accessing items at the bottem of the pack. It's too bad, but I recently heard that Gregory has dicontinued this pack. So if you see it around pick one up they probably wont last too long. This pack is on the expensive side at $120. High end users will appreciate this pack most. Probably too much pack for the average user. But the construction is first rate and I feel its worth the money considering it will be around for years to come.

Arteryx Bora 60, Gregory Lassen

This pack is excellent. It is so light and even when you have it fully packed, its like its not even there. The lumbar belt and shape of the whole pack position it so that its very comfortable. Its got lots of great features too, like handy pouches and clips so you can get it ALL on your back. Great investment.

Very comfortable pack. The straps and waist belt provide super support and the light-wieght construction makes it perfect for long hikes. The side-load feature makes it easy to access gear anywhere in the bag, and with so much space in there, this is a very desirable feature. This pack is definately worth the money.

This is the most comfortable pack I've ever tried. It's great for a long day hike or as a summit pack. The belt wraps around your waist well and makes for a great fit. The only drawback is the small whole for top-loading. It makes it a bit tough to access gear at the bottom of the pack.

I've tried a few of the North Face day-packs, but they just aren't as comfortable.
