Hi guys. Over at boots n' all the consensus seems to be that a standalone daypack and a bigger main bag to jam it in is a better alternative than a detachable daypack. I can understand the logic. Jamming your regular daypack into a regular main pack really doesn't sacrifice any volume compared to a combo pack, in which case the volume is already sacrificed to accommodate the daypack. However, if need be you can fill up your main bag with stuff you pick up along the way, and carry your daypack separately if necessary. In other words, it is more versatile because you have the option of more total volume. Also, they said the daypack is where you tend to keep your valuables, and it is more vulnerable if it is a quick release hanging out back there than if it were tucked inside your back or if you were carrying it in front of you. That makes sense too.
However, the front section of this site couldn't recommend the detachable daypack any more highly.
So, what I'm wondering is what is YOUR preference?
