Most daypacks are not very good for mountain biking; they are too heavy, too stiff, too padded, or too wide, with straps and hipbelts are that are heavier than necessary. They might feel OK if you're standing up hiking but when you're leaning over the handlebars for hours they chafe and hurt your back. But not the Maya 22! It's wonderfully light and flexible with thin, soft straps. It's plenty big enough for a day on the trail and will accomodate a 70 oz hydration reservoir. It has a bunch of other nice features too like the zip pockets on the waist belt and the back unzips on the side so you can refill the hydration reservoir easily. The girl specific ergonomics are excellent. Combine this with the Osprey Hyraform 70 oz reservoir and you have a great set-up. The Osprey reservoir is nicer than most others because it conforms better to your back rather than "barreling". Again, no big deal when hiking but not comfortable when leaning over a bike. Between the two they are far superior to Camelbacks which I've always found uncomfortable.
Buy Gregory Maya 22 Daypack Now
Bought this pack for my wife, and she loves it. It is light, has lots of pockets for easy organization, and very well made.I bought this backpack in a store then found it cheaper on Amazon. I love it. It has many pockets, including on the hip belt (one on each side) & the color is very nice. I enjoy hiking but some of the gear is blah, not this one!
