The Refugio 30L is a good pack used for commuting, work or even as a carry on. The bag is really nice and spacious and can fit everything you might need for a day. The outer mesh pocket is quite handy to keep dirty gear separated. There's a little bike light clipping point and daisy chains where you can hook thing to. Another nice feature is the padded laptop compartment that can fit a 15" laptop. The padding is pretty simple but fits comfortably while you take it from point A to B.

Fit tip:
Wouldn't fit short torsos as nicely

The Sportlite family of packs is one of my long-time favorites. I picked up a Sportlite 20 a few years ago when I was after a simple small volume bag for day hikes, but that could also collapse nice and flat in the bottom of my duffel. It carries everything I need for hikes year-round on the North Island, as long as I'm not gaining too much elevation as the 20L becomes a bit tight trying to squeeze a puffer and a shell inside. The 20L option fits a bit shorter, while the 25L comes in two length options - as a rule of thumb I find the S/M fits most women, while the L/XL suits most men. The 25L is slightly more supportive as it does have a hip belt.

As I said, this bag makes an excellent travel companion for when I need a bag around town or want to go hiking, but due to its light weight and flexible back panel, I don't notice it taking up too much space in my luggage. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight, simple and no-frills day bag, or as a travel bag.

  • Front stretch compression pocket provides quick storage for extra items

  • Stretch side water bottle pockets
  • Trekking pole loops with upper compression strap capture
  • Blinky light attachment slot at base of front panel (light not included)

The Sportlite 20 is a simple, but awesome bag for any day hike. I think this new model makes a few improvements on the previous model - first, the hip belt has the added "hip wings" that make it more comfortable than the previous version that consisted of nylon webbing and the back panel is slightly more rigid offering a more supportive carry with the addition of the AirScape design.

If you're looking for more volume and an adjustable torso, you'll find that in the Sportlite 30, as well as a proper hip belt. However, if not filling out the full volume the flap closure on the 30L may flap around - which may or may not be a dealbreaker for you.

The Hikelite 26L is a long time fan favourite. At 26L this day pack has enough volume to bring all the things you need for a long day on trail, like; a mid-layer, rain shell, small first aid kit, 2L water, snacks, and any other bits you may carry. Bonus! It comes with a rain cover! I'd recommend this to anyone wanting a mid-size day pack for use year-round, but if you're looking to take it travelling, the frame may be too stiff to use as carry on.

While the Airspeed suspension keeps your back nice and cool, some find the fit of the pack around the lower back very stiff and/or too narrow, with corners digging in slightly on wider hips.

Fit tip:
Bottom frame fits quite narrow
