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

If you’re looking for the day hiking pack that will give you the most possible comfort, the Hikelite is a superb place to start. The back design is so comfortable that I would almost recommend not trying it on unless you’re looking to buy. You WILL fall in love with it. It’s so lightweight and simple, so incredibly breathable and so secure on the body. The only cons of this bag come if you’re needing to pack it away, as it’s more structured and rigid than the sportlite, and the fact that it’s a bit more expensive. Nonetheless, absolutely a worthwhile purchase and will be a GAMECHANGER for your comfort on hikes!

Fit tip:
Potentially a tiny bit long on very short torsos.

This is essentially a soft suitcase with the convenience of carrying it on your back. The Daylite travel pack is convenient, lighter than a suitcase or duffel, has aback slot to slide onto a bigger suitcase handle and has good organisational pockets. Because of its suitcase look and shape, this is not a good every day pack or to use as any type of hiking. Buy this pack is a good carry on traveling pack!
