Black Diamond - Magnum 16 - Daypack tested

I use the Magnum 16 as my gym/airplane cabin bag.

It is brilliant for this use case:

- it's big enough to fit all the essentials in
- because the features/extra pockets are kept to a minimum (there's only one small external pocket, ideal for coins/keys/a pack of Nurofen - stuff that you might want quick access to), it's easy to pack quite a lot of stuff into it, as there's nothing taking space unnecessarily
- it's comfortable to carry
- the back ventilation system works better than any others I've tried (and, as a result, your back doesn't get as sweaty)

I have only been using the Magnum 16 for a few months, so can't comment on durability, but I am so impressed with it that I've just ordered the 20 l version as well, for the days when I just need that little bit of extra space.
