the loop of chord with the plastic tube over it on the shoulder strap is ospreys stow-on-the-go trekking pole holder. Works with the look on the bag behind the strap
Great question! The main difference is weight. The Zpacks backpack is a framed backpack. The frame allows the weight to be distributed to your waist instead of shoulders. It is also made with ultralight materials making it better for long hikes while carrying heavier loads. The daypack does not really have a frame, and is made with heavier more durable fabric and on day hikes you don't need to carry a shelter, days of food, or sleeping equipment so a frame is not needed. Daypacks, normally, are more focused on comfort.

I thought that might be what it was for, but I never use treking poles. Thanks for the information.
I use a tiny waste pack for mileage under 3 miles. Always have snacks water and first aid!! You did give me some ideas. Thank you. Love your videos!
Glad it was helpful!

Why do you use this backpack instead of your zpack backpack on day hikes? Thank you.
