RE: Day-packs?
Seems like dejavoo all over agin, but I like the Bianchi Endurance. Narrow to stay off limbs when yer tryin' to be quiet. Saddle cloth don' t scratch everthin' in sight. Whatever you git, watch the straps. They should be covered with a quiet material too. You' d be surprised how noisy nylon straps makes a backpack. Remember, stay narrow.
