…to be expected. The body of the bag looks slim, and it is, but has a well designed gusset around the edges, so that extra granola bar will fit just fine. The side pockets are one of the things you have to use to understand, and really appreciate. They’re surprisingly deep, and thanks to the stretchy material the pockets stay pretty secure and closed when on the move – as an extra precaution there’s a key loop inside. The strap is made from a supp…

There are, admittedly, a bunch of zippers, but the idea is to give you access no matter how little space you have. The Urban Assault is a clean and slim daypack rocking the infamous 3-Zip. It has fixed harnessing and no yoke, to save on weight. Finally, we che…

And thankfully, we’ve clawed through the mountains of votes, including from our contributors, and risen to the surface clutching a handful of really speci…
