![]() ![]() The water bottle holsters are easy to reach, the zippered pocket on the top lid is perfect for storing small items we need often, and there’s enough structure in the back panel and hipbelt to feel comfortable for long periods. But we often find that a small pack like the Flash 22 is all we really need.ĭespite its minimal structure, the Flash 22 is surprisingly comfortable and convenient. For full-day adventures, you may want a pack with a more substantial hipbelt and carrying capacity. On top of that, it’s offered in a wide variety of colors and patterns to show off your personal style.īetween all of us on the CleverHiker team, we probably own about six of these and use them all the time for everything from short hikes where we don’t need to pack a lot of extras to quick grocery runs. ![]() ![]() This daypack is incredibly popular due to its affordable price, ultralight design, and smart pocket layout. We think they’re worth every penny if you’re after a do-it-all workhorse that can take you from forest paths to city streets.īOTTOM LINE: We’re not kidding when we say hardly a day goes by where we don’t see at least one person rocking an REI Flash 22 on trail or around town. While the price of the Talon and Tempest are on the higher end for daypacks, Osprey is known for producing high-quality backpacks and these two are no exception. This design makes it far easier to check how much water you have left and refill your reservoir since you don’t have to pull all of your other gear out to access an internal sleeve. They’re also the only daypacks on our list that have an exterior hydration sleeve. The Talon and Tempest are suitable for a wide array of activities - they have plenty of room for a full-day hiking adventure, convenient storage compartments to keep you organized on trail or around town, and a bike helmet attachment for using them as commuter bags. With cushy hipbelts, padded shoulder straps, and ventilated back panels, these packs form nicely to the body and ride comfortably on trail. (men’s) and Tempest 20 (women’s) are two of our all-time favorite daypacks due to their exceptional comfort and versatility.
