Not every hike needs a three-hundred-dollar pack. When you are just getting into day hiking, or you want a featherweight bag that stuffs into a pocket for the summit push or the flight over. The WATERFLY 35L Packable Daypack does the job for the price of a couple of trail lunches. Our field rating ★★★★★4.3…

A packable daypack is a fine first bag until you load it properly and feel it fold around your spine. The WATERFLY 20L adds a stiff frame sheet to an inexpensive daypack, so a day’s load keeps its shape and stays off your back. There is no load-bearing hipbelt, so keep it to day-hike weights.
