Great day pack. Pockets in all the right places for convenience items. Not having an internal frame, saves the weight I was looking for. Main pack pockets are right sized. Hydration sleeve allows for a variety of connection styles by using a Velcro strap. Comfortable shoulder straps with phone and bottle/other stretch fabric pockets. Waist belt has convenience quick access pockets and useful mini daisy chain rows, nice for small caribiners to connect small stuff. Lots of details others tend to leave out.

It's a great backpack. I got it large and it was actually smaller than I thought it would be. It definitely wo n't go over your head if you think it's those types of backpacks. You can reach the water bottle if you are able to reach for it normally on the side pocket. It looks nice and the clips are easy to snap on and off to remove the pack. The pockets all are great and the small pocket on the strap is pretty convenient and you can see through it a little bit to know what's in it too.

I used this pack on a winter 7 miles, 3, 200' elevation hike breaking trail most of the way. I packed from the bottom up: belay parka in a compression sack, burly goretex shell jacket, 2 one liter nalgene bottles, extra gloves, med/ emergency kit( about 1L in size), 2, 500 calories of snacks, nanopuff jacket. Two headlamps and keys in the internal zip pocket, map and microspikes in the external zip pocket. Two 16oz waterbottles in each side pocket for 3L total, neither side waterbottle fell out while butt sliding down the trail. Samsung Galaxy S22 fit nicely in either chest pocket, chapstick in the bottom elastic pockets. 25 '' snowshoes on the S/M pack were easy to put on a take off with a sling. I did n't use the zip pocket next to the waterbottle holder but it definitely seems like it could be useful. Used the double sternum strap( very comfortable!) to clip my gloves to the bottom strap and tuck them under the top so no snow fell in. I carried the pack around for 15 minutes with 30lbs of rice and beans in the back, it carries the weight well but you can feel items through the back if you do n't pack right. No soreness the day after hiking. I plan to take this out on longer day hikes- presidential range, great range where I might want extra gear but do n't want a 40+L pack. No signs of wear after a single hike getting snagged by trees, seems like it will be durable. Sizing: I typically wear my packs at 18 '' torso, the S/M mens is a perfect fit, I had about 1 '' extra waistband with a 28 '' waist. I bought the Deuter SpeedLite 28 womens but it was terribly tiny all over, this is everything I wanted that pack to be and better. Overall: Very well organized, lots of attachment points, lightweight, comfortable, and moves well with the wearer. New go to pack, well worth the price.

I have n't used this pack but it looks great, with excellent materials, pockets and overall construction. It also seems to tick most boxes for ultra runners who may be doing multi- day events requiring a lot of mandatory gear. Some runners may question the design choice of having only one side of the vest strap capable of carrying a 500ml soft flask. Perhaps this is the preferred option for fastpacking but having capacity for two soft flasks in addition to two zippered pockets on either side like the BD Distance 15 pack would be ideal, at least for ultra runners.

Jean-Luc B.
As an ultralight Backpacker, I leave my honest review here. First, I have to say that I was excited when I got this backpack; the fabrics and the implementation are outstanding excellent job Black Diamond. The fast backpack idea with those extra shoulder straps makes this backpack ideal. Not only is this one waterproof or almost, but it is merely one of the best backpacks I ever owned. Believe it or not, I have tried several UL backpacks in my career. The only downside I see is that the shoulder pocket with the zipper is too tiny to hold a standard- sized cell phone comfortably. If I had a bigger one, I could guarantee it would never fit inside.

The Large size Betalight45 fits me very well. The shoulder straps are comfortable with a loaded pack and the hip belt sits properly to take some weight. I 'm 6'3 '', 180lbs, my torso is 21. 5- 22 '' according to BD instructions. I measured the actual volume of the main bag to be 46L and still able to roll closed. Side/back pockets will be additional capacity.

Bruce J.
Purchase this for a recent hike on the Peaks of the Balkans trail. It was the perfect size for holding everything I needed to go from hut to hut. We did not need sleeping bags or tents, but the pack would ’ ve handled those easily. Very comfortable harness and supportive waist belt. Convenient pockets and the stuff pockets came in handy for water and snacks and rain gear for quick access.

[ I got this pack for longer day hikes, and specifically for an upcoming trip. 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 love my Big Agnes 32L pack for long trips abroad but sometimes you need a smaller pack for hikes, light travel, etc. This Osprey fills the bill and I am very impressed with the design. They are well known for the quality and it is obvious in this pack.
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.

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 bought this item a few months back for my girlfriend. She loved the light purple color I chose as well as how comfortable it was. So far she has enjoyed it on multiple day hikes and loves how simple the organization is as well as the support while loaded up with layers, lunch, first aid kit, etc. She especially loved the ability to add her trekking poles to her pack while not in use and overall is happy with her Osprey Hikelite pack.

[ I used the Daylite Carry- On Travel Pack on a 10 day trip to Europe. I love the pack.

I love the ability to tuck away the backpack straps and carry it as luggage, and I love that I can open it like a suitcase. I am happy I purchased my Daylite Carry- On Travel Pack 35.

The 1st version of the Distance 15 was already my favourite do- it- all mountain pack. This new version includes a revamped front pocket design with more room and options for storage. Slightly elongated shape fits more comfortably against your back, and the main closure loop is now raised so it is easier to attach the G hook/buckle.

mountaindocdanny
I 've used this pack for a year now. It is my daily commuting pack for biking, running, or skiing to work year round in Anchorage. I also use this pack regularly for scrambling and climbing in the Chugach as well. The build quality is excellent and despite having probably 340- 350 user days it shows no significant signs of wear. It will bounce a little with running when I have more than 10 pounds or so in it, but this is minimal and manageable. Holds enough gear for a layer, foul weather gear, and some minimal technical gear for a day in the mountains. The water bottle pockets in the front fit a can of bear spray nicely, especially appreciated when negotiating dense alder thickets in bear country. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

I recently purchased a travel backpack, and I could n't be happier with my choice! One of the standout features is its spacious interior, which provides ample room for all my essentials. Whether I 'm packing for a weekend getaway or a longer trip, I can easily fit everything I need without feeling cramped. In addition to its practicality, the backpack is sleek and stylish, making it a great accessory for any travel outfit. The design is modern and visually appealing, which is a huge plus for someone like me who values aesthetics as much as functionality. Comfort is another key aspect that impressed me. The padded straps and ergonomic design make it easy to carry, even when fully loaded. I 've taken it on several adventures already, and I appreciate how comfortable it feels on my back. Overall, I highly recommend this travel backpack to anyone in need of a reliable, stylish, and spacious option for their travels. It truly checks all the boxes!

I received the 45L version as a gift from family before a trip and I realised that, whilst perfect as a carry- on, it would n't pass as a personal item for flights. So I signed up for restock notifications and as soon as the 25L size came back, I snapped it up! It's so easy to fit so many things in such as clothes, toiletries, electronics etc. There's a pocket for everything! For the size, it's not too heavy in weight but it feels robust and high quality.

I ’ ve had a Kanken backpack for YEARS that I love especially for just running errands around town, but I ’ ve been finding it a bit small for when I ’ m out hiking or on day trips. I knew I wanted a roll top bag so that I could have the option of more space, and I ’ m so so happy with this bag. Especially bc of the zipper closure which provides extra security when the bag is filled to the brim.

I love that it's foldable and you can stuff it full or just have a few things in it.

Sylvia S.
I purchased my foldsack because I have a High Coast 18 that I absolutely adore but needed a rest. When I saw this pack for the first time, I knew I had to have it! The first thing that I gravitated towards was the zipper closure combined with the fold over hook. Which was a great feature because I use my pack for just about everything so this comes in handy if I fill my pack to the brim and need extra security. It is waterproof and Eco friendly... game changer! I am 5'2 so I thought it would look huge on my back but it looks similar to my 18L. I am in love with all the color options but I chose Rowan Red which is close to a deep orange. I 'll still take my High Coast 18 on treks but this High Coast Foldsack 24 is riding shotgun from now on.

This is as well built of a bag as you ’ ll find. I love the 3 zip opening, made famous by now- yeti- owned Mystery Ranch. The 22L is great for a day out, or a small travel bag. If you want more space and a dedicated laptop zippered compartment, get the 27l. Otherwise, this does the trick.

I bought this backpack in black. I absolutely love the way this backpack opens, which allows for many items to be packed. Pack is made of tuffskin nylon, has a ripzip opening which compression straps. Has a compartment for a laptop and can easily be slid over the handle on a suitcase if traveling in the airport. You ca n't go wrong with this one!

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.

I ’ ve been waiting for someone to make exactly this for a while but have yet to find a vest for overnight use that really fits all of my needs. This is it! My fast packing setup fits great in the 22l size and all of the external pockets make anything I would need during the days on a run accessible.

A bundle of cleverly stitchless fabric and features. My beloved prev generation Distance 15 was( un) fortunately lifted off me last month. Was grateful when 22 came back in stock, and super stoked with the reconfiguration of how the straps attach to the pack, and how the pockets have been set up. Work MUCH better! A leeetle disappointed that the way the pack opens was not really addressed-- they just made the opening loop a brighter colour. Too often I grab the pack by the stretchy closure instead of the loop, so I worry for longevity of the elastic. Why not attach the elastic+ hook to the lid side, and incorporate the handle into the lid opening mechanism? Grab, unhook, pull- to- open in one motion, and wo n't accidentally grab the loose elastic of an open bag. While you 're at it, maybe swap the stretchy inside zippered pocket and use something woven and non- stretchy, for durability.:)

Awesome bag I am not a runner but I loves this for climbing and long days in the mountains. Sits high staying out of the way of my harness and being able to keep food and water handy is nice. Took it up the grand with a 60m rope and a good amount of other gear and it was surprisingly comfortable.

I ’ m really happy about this pack. I ’ m 5 ’ 9 ’ ’ slender and chose a medium, which I ’ m happy with. I use it for long days in the alpine including hiking, scrambling, and easier alpine climbing. I sometimes run on my way down hill and this works good for that option. I usually carry extra shoes( running or approach), layers and day trip essentials. I ’ ve maxed it out once with basics for an alpine climbing day trip with a simple trad rack, harness, rope, helmet, and the rest. It did all right. The pole side storage works well but I only use pole with a large heavy pack, so not very useful for me. And those compartments are a bit too small to fit other things such as shoes which would have been great if it did. I ’ ve used it only about 5 times so far but very happy about it and I highly recommend this vest style of daypack. We ’ ll see in 5 years how it is durability wise.

[ I love this pack. It ’s my mtb trail building pack. I can fit my sawing helmet in the little helmet spot. Which is great. Tons of room! Just enough pockets. I really dig the hip pocket. I find the quality to be super durable. Almost to a fault because the only annoying thing is sometimes the zipper on the main pouch can be a B to zip. I think it ’s because the frame and probably what you would want for a zipper there, toughness. No big really. Glad I went the osprey route!

I have been using this pack for my snowboarding trips this season, and so far, I LOVE IT! This particular gold and black pack is such a good- looking pack. I love how the main compartment is on the back side rather than the front. So, when I need to put my belongings in and out of the pack, snow does n't get on me. It's very comfortable and meets all my needs as far as what I need it for.

Brigham R.
I 've put 200k vertical on my Soelden in the backcountry. I use Drift boards and carry my solid board on all uphill, so my main priority is how effectively the pack carries a board, and then organization is a close second. I have n't found a pack yet that absolutely perfect in every detail, but this checks most of the boxes. Durability is top notch, I think most people could get one of these and never buy another pack again( but Osprey will take care of you if anything came apart anyway,) I use Osprey for mountain biking and travel as well. Hard to beat.

Love this backpack. I do wish they made it in a varietie of colors, specially Venom. If so I would buy another. The pack does it all. It handles everything you throw at it and let's not get started on the zipper aspect. Perfect size for weekends trips in the back country. When you put this pack on the comfortability is second to none. Truly a pack that is so comfy you forget you even have it on. It distributes the weight like no other. I have wore a lot of packs and this one sets the tone. Keep up the good work Yeti!!!

My old bag was done. So for my next trip to Andorra and Spain I chose this pack. As an honest backpacker who has hiked most of the States, Canada, and the entire Camino in Spain, I can tell you this pack is worth it. Do not let the `` weight watchers '' sway you from this because it is a few more ounces heavier than they would like. The load system is so tuned in and engineered to perfection the `` extra ounces '' are non- noticeable. Plus, let's be real, if you know how to pack right then you know how to pack right. I had a TNF 75 ltr. pack before this. I can tell you that this one can carry everything better and more comfortably.

The ambidextrous shoulder strap is a nice feature that allows me to share this with family and friends.

Highly recommend this pack. Light, sturdy and well made. Can ’ t go wrong with the Osprey lifetime product guarantee either!

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.

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.

When selecting a lightweight backpack, consider features such as material durability and water resistance, which can enhance the bag's longevity and protect your belongings. Look for adjustable straps and a padded back panel for comfort during extended use. Additionally, pockets and compartments can help with organization, while a design that allows for easy packing and access to your gear is beneficial for convenience. Finally, ensure the backpack has a suitable capacity for your intended activities, whether for day hikes, travel, or daily use.
To determine the right size for a lightweight backpack, consider the intended use and duration of your activities. For day hikes or short trips, a smaller capacity, typically between 20 to 30 liters, may suffice. If you plan on longer excursions or need to carry additional gear, look for backpacks with a capacity of 40 liters or more. Additionally, ensure the backpack fits comfortably on your back and has adjustable straps to accommodate your body shape.
Lightweight backpacks are typically made from materials such as nylon, polyester, and ripstop fabrics, which offer durability while minimizing weight. Many also feature water-resistant coatings to help protect contents from moisture.

Lightweight backpacks come in various styles designed for different activities and preferences. Some are specifically tailored for outdoor adventures, featuring waterproof materials and additional storage for gear, while others focus on urban use with sleek designs and organizational pockets.

The choice of materials also affects durability and weight, making it important to consider the intended use when selecting a style.
To ensure a comfortable fit with a lightweight backpack, start by adjusting the shoulder straps so they sit snugly on your shoulders without digging in. Make sure the hip belt, if available, is positioned on your hips to help distribute weight evenly. Additionally, check that the back panel aligns with your spine and that the load is balanced, keeping heavier items closer to your back. Finally, consider the overall size and adjust any compression straps to minimize movement while you’re on the go.
