The side mesh pockets are also semi-open down one side, which allows dual access, letting you grab a water bottle from the side while hiking, though it also makes them a little less secure than I’d like. I also liked the key clip in the zippered side-access compartment and the easy to grab zip pulls on each and every zipper. One neat touch is how far down the zips go on the main compartment, giving access to items buried quite far down. Starting from the top: we’ve got the zippered hydration bladder compartment the two-way zippered top-loading main compartment a small, zippered valuables pouch a sizeable zippered side-access pocket with internal mesh compartment for organisation (so, make that 11 places to put items) an open, stretch mesh front pouch with buckle for added security two open side mesh pockets two zippered hip belt pockets and, last of all, the zippered rain cover compartment at the bottom. Ability and versatilityĪs mentioned, there are 10 different storage compartments on the Manta. Upper and lower compression straps bring everything in close for comfort and stability. A twin strap tightening system allows the wearer to achieve the optimum fit, once buckled up. The hip belt is padded with EVA foam and features a couple of zippered pockets for stashing valuables. These features are there to achieve supreme comfort and breathability, whatever the weather. With plush EVA padding and wide, spacermesh, the shoulder straps have more in common with some of Osprey’s larger backpacks, such as the Kestrel, rather than most of their daypacks of this size. A ventilated, tensioned backpanel holds the pack away from the body, meaning less chance of getting a sweaty back on hot days (Image credit: Alex Foxfield)
