Osprey Downburst
Best waterproof daypack for hikers tackling wet and unpredictable weather conditions.
This pack finally solves the soggy-gear dilemma with a genuinely waterproof main compartment that doesn't sacrifice comfort. You trade the convenience of a traditional zipper for a more rigid, weather-sealed build, but the superior ventilation and dry-as-a-bone storage make it an easy compromise for wet-weather hikers.
