Best Backpack Daypacks

What is a Packable Daypack? A packable daypack is an ultralight backpack that can fit in your luggage (or even your pocket). They usually compress into a small pouch. They come in a range of sizes, some tiny and ultralight with one compartment, others bulkier with many of the pockets and features you'd expect in a regular backpack. They are also sometimes called a foldable backpack or collapsible backpack. Why Travel with a Packable Backpack? Sometimes I empty out my main 40L backpack to use as a daypack on long hikes, but often we want something smaller for sightseeing. A light, foldable backpack is ideal as it fits inside our luggage on travel days. A collapsible daypack is also useful when you don't need a bag for the whole day. You could pack a folding backpack inside your handbag or pocket to use when needed-for shopping or if you want to remove your sweater or jacket later. How to Choose the Best Packable Backpack Capacity - We find 16 liters is suitable for a fleece, water bottle, snacks and Kindle. And if you usually need to fit in both your laptops (15 and 11 inches). We recommend the 24 liters. Weight - The lighter, the better. We prefer under 250g (8.5oz). If you want ultralight, there are packs under 100g (3.5oz). Size When Packed - Small enough to pack into the inside pocket to create a compact pouch that doesn't take up much space in your main luggage. Pockets - Two water-bottle pockets stretch to fit your favorite vessel Weather resistance -water and puncture resistant. Durability - CORDURA fabrics, trusted by many militaries around the globe.
