5 Jknottek
I ’ ve been really impressed with this YETI backpack. The build quality is outstanding — it feels extremely durable and made to last. The zippers are heavy- duty, the materials are rugged, and it ’s comfortable to wear even when it ’s fully loaded. It has plenty of room without feeling bulky, and the pockets make it easy to keep everything organized. Whether I ’ m using it for work, travel, or day trips, it ’s performed flawlessly. It ’s definitely more expensive than some backpacks, but the quality and durability make it well worth the investment. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a backpack that can handle everyday use and more.

5 Deez
Great overall cooler, I use it for my jet ski. It fits in the front without issues. Keeps everything cold in the key largo heat. Two birdies up to everything else!

[ Great backpack for day trips and quick camping. Lots of space and room for everything I need.

5 Nicholas
[ Perfect bag for a weekend trip or a long day hike. All the space you need and the rain fly is perfect and keeps it very dry. the straps on the bottom are also stellar for a tent/sleeping/pad/ footwear and other things. The pouch for the hydration bladder is a fantastic size and the waist straps and very comfortable and not abrasive at all.

5 HN10010
[ I have used it for several 1- day trips and is perfect. The rain cover is a super helpful feature. And this may look like a simple backpack, but it's designed for a day in the mountains. I recommend this for weekend hikings!

I bought at store, among black, gold, dark green, purple, I chose purple color, which actually I regret a little bit, I should have chosen dark green! But purple is good looking too! Bag has many useful function segments, which can fit almost all my needs! It is very light, female- friendly!

5 Isabel G.
I needed to replace a backpack that I loved so much, but the company that I bought it from didn ’ t make it anymore. So I did a lot of research across different companies to find something that could live up to that backpack( and make up for the few gripes I had with it) and I am so happy I chose this one! I travel for work, so I needed something that could hold my laptop and be roomy without getting too heavy, something that I could take to the office or take on a plane. And this fits the bill! The organization is perfect! A large main pocket with a few dividers, and then two extra pockets. I feel like other backpacks on the market are either made of a million pockets or are just one big pocket. This is the perfect middle ground! This is my first Cotopaxi, and I can already tell that I will want to purchase more products in the future!

5 Lauren M.
It ’s an amazing backpack, bought it for my daughter for Christmas. Love the color and all the pockets.

This pack is the perfect trail companion! I 've gotten to take it out both XC skiing and on some winter hikes and it's the perfect size for an extra layer, snacks, first aid kit, and any other gear you might need on the trail. I love the magnet strip on the water bladder that nicely holds the bladder straw in space when not using it, and easy to drink out of while on the trail. The pockets are well thought out and easily accessible. I do wish the side water bottle pockets were a little larger to fit my nalgene, but definitely not a dealbreaker since it has the integrated bladder.

5 Madwild
As a smaller sized gal, I 've struggled with daypacks feeling too big and bulky. The 18L was my goldilocks and is such a great size for a casual hike or wandering around town! There are not a lot of pockets, but I actually prefer a simple pack. My favorite part of the pack is the chest and hip straps that make the bag easily adjustable.

My old daypack( unknown brand- cheap) had to retire after 5 years of heavy use. I hope this osprey holds up longer, I was told it was the best brand.

Have n't used it for said trip yet, but have used it on local hikes to get a good feel for it and it checks all my boxes. It's uncomplicated( just one main compartment with some exterior storage) and I love the padded hipbelt. Also like the fact that there's compatibility for a water bladder. The side pockets stretch enough to accommodate the large nalgene, and there's a small zipper compartment at top for keys, wallet, etc.

I hiked across Spain for 500 miles over 35 days carrying this pack. I had NO issues and it was so comfortable. I carried about 13- 15 lbs with a water bladder. Only wish the water bladder nozzle had a cover as every time I set the pack down my nozzle touched the ground- good for my immune system! I just feel so grateful for my pack. One of your sales people on the phone recommended it after I tried several other models and sizes. Could n't be happier. One of the zippers broke before my trip but it was n't key. I will call regarding this. Otherwise- highly recommend this pack. So light, so comfy, so kind to my body after a long haul. Thank you.

I got his backpack for a Europe trip I have been planning for months. This backpack has changed my life and everyone should have one. The way it is designed to hold SOOOO MANY things is incredible. I took this backpack for 3 weeks and I still felt like I has extra space.

5 Jennifer Y.
I ’ m currently using the Allpa 35L for a month- long trip, and this bag has completely changed how I pack. Instead of overpacking or hauling one giant suitcase everywhere, I ’ m using the Allpa 35L as a modular travel system. What makes it work so well: • The clamshell opening makes it feel like a structured suitcase, not a backpack. • The internal compartments allow me to separate climates without mixing everything together. • It ’s structured enough to protect nicer clothing( like dresses), but flexible enough to compress when partially packed. • It ’s comfortable to carry through airports and onto flights. • The size is ideal — large enough for multi- day travel, but not oversized or bulky. The Allpa 35L is especially powerful for travelers who: • Are moving between climates • Need one bag dedicated to a specific leg of a trip • Want organization without sacrificing flexibility • Don ’ t want to repack constantly It ’s not just a backpack — it ’s a travel strategy. For a complex itinerary with weddings, beaches, city dinners, and train travel, this bag has been the anchor that keeps everything organized and stress- free. Highly recommend for anyone doing extended international travel with multiple destinations.

5 Crystal L.

I bought the Away Everywhere Zip Backpack for work, but it quickly became my go- to travel companion too. It's sleek and stylish enough for the office, but super functional on the go. I recently took it with me to Thailand and was so impressed with how well it held up. One of my favorite features is that the zippers go all the way down the sides — makes digging around for things mid- flight or in a rush so much easier. It fits everything I need without feeling bulky and still looks polished no matter where I take it.

This is exactly what I wanted out of a small backpack. Minimal pockets, but enough for what you need for a day out. Works great for work/commuting/gym/carryon. I mainly carry my bottle, an iPad, and a couple wires. Sometimes throw an extra shirt in there too if I ’ m going to the gym. If you ’ re using it for more than a day, I would go bigger, BUT for an everyday bag, this is perfect.

5 Kristopher Quintero
I am a college student, fisherman, and mountain biker. I can now say I 've used this bag for all these activities and it's perfect. The removable compression and chest straps are awesome because I can adjust the bag to my use of the day. For a 22L bag it feels VERY roomy to me. I love the flip pocket because it holds the main compartment of the bag open at all times when it's flipped open. The bag holds all my gear for these activities perfectly. Great bag for a Day Trip!

5 Eclec
This is a great bag. Although it doesn ’ t have a dedicated laptop pocket, my computer is really easy toe grab from the main compartment. For some people, it might not have enough organization, but it has more room when you needed. I have other bag that has ton of organization, but it just can not fit a lot of stuff. The side handles are incredible, you will wish every bag includes that. I really love it and recommend it!

5 Fellix
The bag gets a lot of bag reviews for being small, but that ’s why I like it. It ’s a great bag for a day hike where all one needs is a hoodie, water, sunscreen, battery pack, and other small necessities. It ’s gone on quite a few day hikes with me and works great. Not so big that there ’s a ton of extra room and weight, but just right for the day. I do wish the zipper opened it up a little more, but other than that I love the bag.

5 Texan 77494
i wanted a small bag and thats what i have got when it was delivered. No surprises. The capacity is listed in the item details and specs. Different sized bags are for different needs. i did not want to a full load on my back, hence, i went with the smaller bag, and if i need more space, i use a separate hand carry bag like a tote or a small duffel. the key is weight distribution. so it is what it is. a very solid, well constructed with waterproof or resistance capability. The side zip for rambler bottle is great, and also love the other side zip for access into the backpack. overall very satisfied.

5 Jstan2700
This backpack is very big and sturdy and it can definitely hold a lot of whatever you need. I like that is has additional smaller pockets on the handles and straps to keep small things like wallets, cash, or cards dry and separate from the rest of the items you 're holding. the arm and waist straps are seemingly strong and easy to adjust to proper fit, and they hold the pack in place very securely. It's also nice looking and the easy to remove/attach waterproof cover is an additional plus.

5 Angel21
This backpack is very nice. Has several smaller pockets to store several items. It is lightweight and comfortable to wear. The straps adjust very easily. It also has a rain cover that works great. And the cover is easily stored in one of the pockets. Would definitely recommend

5 Kasey
This is a lightweight backpack that I feel is a good balance of capacity and comfort. Lightweight but durable fabric. It has buckles that can keep the backpack more compact, or unclipped, can expand to the full size. Has many pockets and comes with a rain shield in a bottom pocket to cover the whole backpack in the rain. The chest and waist clips to secure the backpack are comfortable too. This backpack also has a central zipper down the middle which would help you reach anything inside easily, even in the bottom of the pack.

Purchased this as an upgrade to my previous Herschel bag, and wanted something that was light and had room for my laptop, a notebook and simple things. This fits snuggly against my pack and is super lightweight. It's a perfect size for my daily commute to the office and prevents me from overstuffing random things into the backpack- even though it has enough compartments to do so! I also love that it's a perfect color match to my luggage so the luggage sleeve works perfectly as a set with my current bag. Great quality, amazing warranty, and something I 'll use for decades!

5 Glicker
This is my first day pack with internal frame. It makes it very comfortable to wear, balancing the weight down onto my hips( even unbelted and even wearing it on one shoulder) and the frame with mesh back keeps my back cooler even in 93 degree humid weather. The pockets are n't ideal. The top front pocket is very small( and if you put a heavy phone there it is unbalanced). The internal( water or laptop) pocket is deep- so anything small put in there is lost to posterity( beware). The water bottle pockets on the side fit a smaller water bottle easily but tougher with anything larger. I used it as a carry on( personal item) and no complaints from the flight attendants about how it fit under the seat in front of me, though the top did stick out a little and I found it to be a bit in the way of stretching my lets. It fit a ton of stuff- I had an umbrella and rain jacket, wallet, cosmetic size bag with electronic cables and earbuds, cosmetic bag with actual cosmetics, book, magazine, two journals, an airport shopping bag( small), and small cosmetic bag with meds in there. There is a helpful clip to attach your neck pillow! It also has a rain cover in a pouch at the bottom that was very useful in a downpour, if a little hard to extract and put in place on the fly.

5 JJyong
I ’ ve been using this backpack for a while now and I have to say, one of its great features is the smart design that balances comfort and functionality. The padded shoulder straps make it really comfortable to carry, even when it ’s fully loaded. I also love the multiple compartments — it ’s easy to keep everything organized, from my laptop to small accessories. The material feels durable and water- resistant, so I don ’ t have to worry about sudden rain. Overall, it ’s a stylish, practical, and reliable backpack that works perfectly for both daily use and travel.

I tried so many different bags from various brands and found this to be the most comfortable and a great value for the price. Like any other product I 've used from TNF it's well made and I look forward to many years of use.

[ I got this bag one month ago, since then I have traveled to two different places and this bag is super convenient to carry all my important documents, laptop, and make up.

5 Mads
[ I bought this a month ago after seeing a friend with it. I 've struggled finding a work backpack that is fashionable, has the right compartments and is comfortable: THIS IS IT! Perfect amount of zippers and pouches AND TWO bottle holders on the side. The 3 way straps are KEY for easy grab and go. I feel the quality is sturdy and it will be durable enough to last. 100% would recommend.

This a great backpack and is nice combination of an ultralight backpack, but with a lot of the features of a more traditional backpack. I hike a lot in the backcountry of the Rockies front range, and this back has been effective at bringing a lot of safety gear required to keep me safe since the weather can change quickly. Bottom line, it ’s great for days hikes and has plenty of room for shorter, multi- day trips.

This bag is incredibly sturdy and if you pack smart and pack light, you can take get weeks to months worth of travel out of this bag while not being an oversized bag( 36L). It keeps good form and structure. It's still relatively new product but so far it has been quite steady. Compression straps, ample space, shoe storage, front pocket, top pocket, laptop/tablet holder and a couple of mesh pockets inside. Side and top handles feel well built. I appreciate the load lifters. It looks good. Would appreciate a full black version but the gray is also quite nice! This one is well designed and will be very popular very soon.

5 Trey
Overall, the bag is great. Granted I 've only used it once, it's shown to be spacious enough to hold well over 10- 14 days worth of clothes if you pack out right. I do wish it was true to the image as the shoe compartment and water bottle pouches are n't actually black which is a small let down. Other than that, I like it a lot!

[ Great quality sling. Perfect size for day use. Fashionable design and great functionality. Great travel accessory, big enough for your needs.

5 Sviss
[ I had been looking for a sling pack for quite a while before I came across this one. It's amazing! It's not too big or bulky, but a good size to fit everything I need for the day out and about. It's a good substitute to a purse or backpack. The front pocket on the strap is big enough to fit a chapstick or keys, while the inside pouch is big enough for wallet and phone. It's big enough to fit a waterbottle. and I love that you can switch the sides the strap is on. Highly recommend!

5 JJ Mac
[ Can ’ t beat Osprey quality. I use this sling as my EDC. Fits everything I need and nothing I don ’ t. Does well in the rain. I love it. Glad I purchased it.

After 3 years of use in all conditions in the four corners of the world, I can say... this is a perfect bag. Tested by the Indonesian rain, covered by snow on the Swiss peaks, splashed in the middle of the Andaman Sea in Thailand, deposited in the burning sand of Egypt, whipped by the winds of Spain, exposed for hours to the sun of Tazmania. This bag is all- proof, it is the perfect travel companion for small and large journeys. With its adjustable size it allows you to go from one size to another in a fraction of a second. You can put all your equipement of photo for a perfect security. It is an integral part of each of my trips as much for its practicality as for its quality. Ingenious and really well thought out I recommend without hesitation to anyone who wants to invest in a quality bag for many year.

The material feels high- quality and durable, with plenty of pockets for organization. I carry two laptops daily, and it handles the load without feeling excessively heavy. I even had to test its water resistance — unintentionally — and it passed with flying colors. Everything inside stayed completely dry. The internal organization is excellent, allowing me to pack a lot while keeping things tidy.

I was looking for a bag that was not only supremely functional, but that also aligned with my values. Cotopaxi is the answer!

5 Sandra k.
Some women ogle purses and shoes, for me it ’s backpacks. I ’ ve been coveting a Cotopaxi pack for a year and a half and finally decided to take the plunge. I haven ’ t used it yet but it ’s packed and ready to go for a one month trip to Japan. There ’s so much to love about it though: The colors, the sustainability, the size, and its light weight. That last feature was the deciding factor for me. Plus, it fits all that I need( but I ’ m a seasoned, light traveler) and there ’s still room for some souvenirs. So far, it feels comfortable on my shoulders but I ’ ll know more after trekking for a week. Super excited to test it out! Thanks Cotopaxi!

5 Andrew B.
I had a friend who got one of these bags years ago and I was always jealous. I finally got one for myself and I could not be happier. The quality of the bag is amazing and it is great for a weeks worth of items. I am sure if you are a smaller person you could get more items, but as a tall and big person it works well for about a week.

This company is the best. Our old bag had a broken a zipper and they replaced it with an upcycled bag( per our request). We ’ re so so happy with the quality and service.

Frequently Asked Questions For Backpacks for Day Trips

When choosing a backpack for day trips, consider features such as capacity, comfort, and organization. Look for adjustable straps and padded back panels for comfort during extended wear. Additionally, pockets and compartments can help keep your gear organized and easily accessible.

The ideal size for a day trip backpack typically ranges from 15 to 30 liters. This size is sufficient to carry essentials like water, snacks, a first aid kit, and extra clothing without being overly bulky. It's important to find a balance between capacity and comfort to ensure an enjoyable experience.

Yes, materials play a crucial role in the durability and weather resistance of day trip backpacks. Look for backpacks made from high-quality nylon or polyester, as these materials are often lightweight yet strong. Additionally, water-resistant or waterproof coatings can help protect your belongings from unexpected weather.

To ensure comfort during a day of hiking, choose a backpack with adjustable straps and a padded back panel. It's also beneficial to look for a design that distributes weight evenly across your back and shoulders. Testing the backpack with some weight before your trip can help you assess its comfort level.

Day trip backpacks are versatile and can be used for a variety of activities such as hiking, biking, or even casual outings. They are designed to carry essentials for a day outdoors, making them ideal for short excursions where you need to be mobile and hands-free. Their lightweight design allows for easy maneuverability.

Choosing the right style of backpack depends on your specific needs and preferences. Consider factors such as the type of activities you plan to engage in, the amount of gear you need to carry, and your personal comfort. Some styles offer more organization features, while others prioritize lightweight and minimalist designs.
