Great bag - Granite Gear Taku 24 Backpack

I've been using this bag as an EDC for a couple weeks now and I love it. I have used it to commute to/from work and on a couple short walks so far and it holds everything I need without being awkward. The longer shape compared to a traditional backpack helps keep my stuff closer to my body and makes it a lot easier to carry. I'm taking it as my main bag for a 4-day trip this weekend and I think it will work out just fine for a few outfits and some toiletries. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and the compression straps on the side of the bag are a huge plus at keeping the contents close to your body instead of weighing you down. The venting on the back of the bag made a difference today with the muggy weather as well - and the included rain cover definitely kept my stuff dry. Overall I am very happy with the purchase.
