A nice day out.

This is a very comfortable pack for day hikes. It held all the essentials for a hike in changing weather and still had room for more.

Daybreak 17

I have found the Daybreak 17 to be quite comfortable. The main internal pocket is quite expansive and holds more than I expected. I do wish the small internal pocket was a bit larger. The two side pockets for water bottles are larger than I would like actually. Too large to hold Smartwater bottles securely. I secure my bottles in the pockets by slipping on cuzy. Quality of construction is excellent and I have great confidence in the durability of the material. The outside pocket and the attached bungee cord are also very useful and handy. The hip belt is comfortable and fits well. After a lot of searching and research I made the right choice purchasing this.

Solid multi use small bag

I used this bag as a personal item carry on for my last vacation. Easily fit 2 large packing cubes, my DSLR, a small packing cube with electronics and an extra pair of shoes. It still fit under the seat on the plane and I had my daypack for hiking at my destination. The only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars is the back didn’t breathe as well as I would have liked.

Perfect daypack

Holds multiple clothing layers, which is one of the more important features for me.

The laptop sleeve is perfect for holding my snack collection.

The large outside pocket is great for quickly stashing and grabbing trekking poles! I’m hiking the ADK high peaks currently, and the crazy transitions between rock scrambles and regular hiking is frequent.

Things I wish it had, but are far from a dealbreaker for me:

1. Nice, large hip pockets that can hold an iPhone and headlamp. It’s so great to be able to grab or stash each of these without having to swing the pack around and dig. Personally, I’m not a big fan of the shoulder pocket add-on options.

2. Another pocket or 2 inside the pack to hold the collection of necessities that you should always have with you, but probably never need to use. I just tossed them in a ziplock bag and they’re hanging out on the bottom on the pack right now, but it’d be super cool if there was a bonus pouch right underneath the laptop sleeve where these could live, maybe with a magnetic closure.

Still the best daypack I’ve ever used!
