We’ve tested and reviewed hundreds of different types of travel-focused gear, and in this video we’re focusing on packable daypacks and why you may need one. They’re essentially lightweight packs that you can compress, stash in a larger travel bag, and deploy when needed.
Most Packable Daypacks compress into a pocket or a small compression pouch, and pack down to the size of a soda can or smaller-others are designed to just lay flat. Either way, they’re handy when you need them, and stay out of the way when you don’t.
First and foremost, packable daypacks are great for minimal one bag travel. If you’re traveling with a larger travel backpack, you can bring along a packable daypack to use once you arrive at your destination. Some packable daypacks are even small enough where you can toss one in your jacket pocket and carry it around with you, just on the off-chance you might need a backpack at some point during the day.
There are many uses for packable daypacks outside of travel as well. You can keep one in your desk at work, in your car, or even in a saddlebag on your bike-just in case you need to hit the market on your way home. They allow you to be prepared to carry “stuff”-whatever that may be-at any moment, without having to lug around an empty backpack.
It’s important to note that with all the pros, there are some cons as well. Packable Daypacks are not suited for heavy daily use because of their lightweight materials, and they’re not the most comfortable packs to wear either. That being said, for one bag travel, we’ve found them to be practically indispensable. And they’re pretty dang convenient for everything else, too.

For the packable backpacks with no back panel, my biggest recommendation is to travel with foam pad. It's very light (20g), packs easily into tablet/laptop pocket and turns flimsy daypack into much more comfortable one. And of course it works great as sitting pad!

My favourite light weight backpack is the Lowe Alpine spark 18 , packs into luggage and half way between a super light super compressed to a regular backpack. Great for exploring day to day with some comfort and can be overfilled dead simple works much better than the Osprey ultralight stuff pack type bag . However the price you pay is it's not super compact.

Great insight about daypacks1 I've loved AER GO backpack when travelling as a digital nomad, but now that I'm adding camera gear it's becoming a bit small... so I was thinking either the WANDRD VEER or the Brevite Jumper (a bit large but can be lay down flat). Will have to test them both!

I am surely kinda addicted to those packable daypacks. Having Matador and Decathlon/Quechua in the 20 and 10 liters range. Unlike you said they are all very durable, I am using since years a 20l from Decathlon as my regular shopping rucksack without any issues, and I cannot say that about all my rucksacks. They are all quite multifunctional as daypacks, summit packs, shopping bags, cycling rucksacks and so on - and sometimes I use them also during travel as replacement for packing cubes or stuff sacks. So, huge thumbs up for this kind of rucksack! Btw: Matador and others offer also Duffle Bags as ultralight foldable carry on option. Also highly recommended to have a look on such additional luggage stuff. PS/Edit: If you have enough space in your main luggage it might be also an option to carry a light weight but more conventional day pack with you as e.g. a Salewa Chip 22 or so. Unused they fold totally flat, and if you use them with only some small things inside they look much better than Osprey, Matador or whatever other ultralight and ultrafluffy pack. And especially the Chip 22 has due to its shape and zip incredible carrying capacity - once I shopped for a party in our hotel room and packed a complete box of 24 0,33 l cans of coke inside, plus some smaller pieces of sweets, the shopkeeper watching and looking as if a miracle or magical trick would happen in front of him ;-)

I never thought I would join the packable day pack crowd since I travel one to weeks at a time and stay mostly in hotels. So I usually have my carry-on rolling luggage or backpack depending on destination and a pacsafe day pack for site seeing and souvenirs. Then I took a 3 week trip to two countries and buying alot for friends and family until I ran out of space. I don't have a problem checking a bag on my return trip home, so for my next trip I bought the Eddie Bauer packable backpack that offers shoulder straps and back padding. Plus a range of colors (that I love over basic black) everyone has black when traveling and I like being able to spot my bag in a crowd. If you buy from Eddie Bauer and not Amazon you can usually find them 50% off so $15 or $20.

Nice sélection of bags. Have been very impressed with the Alta21 by Arkadiasupply, very nice quality materials, excellent waterproofing and the bonus of a detachable pouch. Comfort and structure much improved by an inflatable back panel. Also has two large and stretchy water bottle pouches and a small front pocket. Use a lot when walking or cycling in the city or on day trips, very durable. Materials and construction seem similar to the matador bags.

Tom, it may not be a trendy brand, but the Adult L.L. Bean Stowaway daypack is exceptional. The overall quality is excellent - at least 5 years and looking flawless. It has a good variety of zippered pockets (including 2 water bottle non-zippered areas) and it can hold an astonishing 100lbs (per the website) - I haven't tested this but have had a lot of weight in the pack frequently without issues. The only cons I see are that although it does fold down, it might be larger than some others when packed (8"x7"). Also, it can be a tight fit to fold (and might seem like it won't work or might rip) but it does indeed fit well. Take care.

Quechua backpacks are made by Decathlon. In the USA they sell for 2 to 4 times the price at Decathlon stores in Europe. I was amazed when I went to decathlon in Milan last year for the first time. Their own product line is no frills but so affordable and well made with nice colors. Their products are not like as Osprey or Deuter but are cheaper and a lot better than products you may find at Walmart or Target in the USA. They also make camping, swimming, running gear and apparel under different labels. I think in Europe you get more and better quality for the chap stuff. But fancier labels may be more expensive. I bought a NH100 30 liter walking backpack for 12 or 15 euros, a 10 liter NH100 mini backpack for 3 euros, on amazon USA it sells for 12 USD.

I've yet to find a better packable than the Arc'teryx Index 15. Its capacity/packed size/material are similar to the (reviewed) YNOT Deploy, but it's way better looking, with fantastic access, straps, zips, and the perfect amount of organization. The only ding is that there's no sternum strap, or even an easy way to attach one, but given the pack's high-on-the-back carry and shoulder strap positioning, you don't even need one, assuming you keep your load's weight from getting out of hand. For lay-flat, I like the REI Flash series -- I've been using the Flash 18 for years, and it's held up really well. Very light, with a great carry, and sternum strap. Main ding is the vertical/tube-like nature of the bag, with top loading access and draw-string closure, limits access. Think ahead when packing, and/or use pouches. Osprey's series (backpack, duffel) pack down optimally small and light, but the lack of structure absolutely sucks. I usually bring one -- or both, if with the fam -- of the other two, and might bring an Osprey series _inside my day pack_ for additional deployable capacity.

I favor the more rectangular “packable” daypacks because they can double as a packing cube and rectangles fit my carryon luggage with fewer wasted space issues than tapered packs. The least efficient “packable” daypacks not only taper in at the top, they also taper thin at the top. I call this category of usually unpadded “packable” daypacks “packables” to distinguish from self-stuff and keychain packs which make too many sacrifices in order to stuff down. The most efficient packable daypacks are the Tom Bihn convertible packing cube daypacks which come in two configurations (bottom extra compartment in one, front slash pocket in the other). The are the most efficient because they are sized perfectly to fit the main compartments in his two main one bag carryons. They are still my choice in my preferred Patagonia MLC one bag. The unlined fabric is Dyneema equivalent and the straps are seatbelt webbing. So, least space lost. The next option, less efficient, is his Daylight Backpack, which is a more conventional shaped daypack with slight top taper and upgraded but still thin backpack straps. Once again, unlined and unpadded (except the shoulder straps) to respect the limited volume of overhead luggage. As an alternative to using the packable daypack as packing cube, it can be packed as a “don’t gate check me” pull-out bag in case your laptop, medicines, and minimal change of clothing kit are about to be gate checked. I’ve never been gate checked, but it’s good to have a plan B. There are 3 “different day, different path” alternatives: the very tubular REI Flash 18 is in the hunt at 10 oz., and is very handy compared to sacks-with-straps like the Osprey. Many tablets (but no longer the upsized-to-10.2” iPad) will even fit the very lightly padded hydration slot. The Flash 22 is a conventional teardrop but sure stows flat and thin. And, finally, the Sea to Summit 20L, siliconized stuff pack violates my rules against keychain packs AND sacks-with-straps - but is forgivable for its tiny, tiny size. Since I’ve never ever been able to re-stuff one, I keep one unstuffed but waddable into a pocket or corner of a bag for routine local use when a a 2L hip pack won’t hold a light shell , and one in factory stuffed condition for personal sized item only travel, “just in case”. I love pro, but passionate, vids like this that really make me understand just how many options there are if I keep looking!

Heya! Even though I already have my packable daypack, I watched (including not skipping the ads) the whole video, just in case you had something that seemed better for my needs. You really have the best product review videos! I still prefer my LL Bean Stowaway 22L (not to be confused with Eddie Bauers bag of same name). It weighs 14 ounces, so on the heavier side, BUT... it can handle 100lbs... has padded shoulder straps, a sternum strap AND a waist strap (great for minimizing bounce when you are in a hurry or headed downhill a tad too fast) and 2 water bottle pockets, shove it pocket for wet stuff, etc, and 3 organizing pockets and compression straps. Plus a hook for keys and a loop to hang it off a hook or something. And a molly loop and some reflector material on said loop... I mean really...(in love with my daypack) this bag is packed with features and while it does not compress to an apple or soda can, it comes close to soda can... and it is very possibly big enough to be the Camino de Santiago bag... haven't pulled out the camino subset of gear yet, but it might just work. I also have the 1.5 ounce chico bag for carrying in pocket for grocery stops, laundry and the like. Here is a link for anyone who is interested in learning more... www.llbean.com/llb/shop/86674?page=stowaway-day-pack&qs=3148105_GOOGLE&Matchtype=b&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrM2mzJuR6AIVjYbACh3tFAATEAAYASAAEgIbSPD_BwE Thanks for all you do, still looking for the perfect one bag bag... if only tortuga would create a women's 40L setout, but no, so the hunt continues...

Minaal: I would not trust to put a water bottle and expensive electronics in the same compartment. Unless the bottle is empty. Not the best idea, even if it makes a sleek design. Inflatable camera cube is genius. Last backpack is appealing and innovative. Although $48 just for the inflatable camera cube, no thank you. There are inexpensive foldable camera inserts like Apecase Cubeze that can be folded flat, are lightweight and cost $9 to $15 depending size. Those are great. and larger/longer than the inflatable camera cube. Those Apecase cubes can be even put in a canvas shopping bag or in a packable lightweight backpack

Nice video. However. You always fill up the backpacks with loads of stuff and in a real situation, where all you would need are swimmingpants and a towel, the backpacks would look very different. Its like youre advertising them and making them look pretty without any good reason. Some are filled to the max. When does that ever happen? Show us what it actually looks like when youre leaving to the beach. Thanku :)

I've had the Osprey and couldn't stand it! The straps begin to narrow as soon as they leave the body of the pack and by the time they are wrapping over the shoulders towards my collar bones (and I'm an averagely-built 5'10" with a 40" chest) it might as well be cheese wire (especially if you have even a moderate amount of weight in the bag)! The security/key pocket is also mounted on the "wrong" side of the bag so that anything (keys!?) I have in there digs into the top of my back between my shoulder blades. I much prefer the cheaper Gonex 20L packable day pack for $15! A bit heavier yes but a better, more thought-out design in every respect - better shoulder straps, a better security pocket, 2 outside bottle pockets and a zip front pocket.

Are there any daypacks with an exterior water bottle sleeve and a hidden pocket in the back for security for a wallet? Or just a pocket in the back that you can’t open without taking it off?
@LB-ou8py 4 жыл бұрын
The only day pack that I know of that has a pocket for valuables in the back is Pacsafe Venturesafe X18 and the x12 anti-theft backpacks. But they are not packable.

about a year ago I saw a packable bag that had such pocket, not sure about the water bottle... it was on kickstarter... freedom bag or freedom labs or something... thought it was pretty cool myself but not versatile enough for what i need. found it... www.kickstarter.com/projects/2139844229/freedom-pack-the-first-packable-anti-theft-travel

the freedom pack *might* have a small pocket on the shoulder strap for train ticket etc... not positive but I seem to recall one of the bags having that - love that feature too

@@SoloTravelCoach Nice info on the packable anti-theft backpack. For me the 12L size is a little small and I wish it came in other colors, but since it's still a fairly new product I will definitely keep an eye on them and any other items they produce in the future. I have their link saved in my favorites.

I got that one a while ago, and I was quite surprised that it didn't get mentioned since it (at least in my opinion) looks better than most of the backpacks shown in the video, is very well made (typical Patagonia) and quite comfortable (sternum strap, great padding for the size). I highly recommend it!
@CAmygdala 4 жыл бұрын
@@jest0riz0r Thanks for the review! I've looked at all the other packs mentioned in the video + others and the Patagonia seems to be the only one that has everything I'm looking for. Do you know if I'd be able to put a 15in laptop in it?
@jest0riz0r 4 жыл бұрын
@@CAmygdala I just tried it with my 14" and that fits quite well (can still easily add a fleece jacket, a rain jacket and a bottle of water), but I think a 15" would already deform it a bit, especially with a sleeve, which is highly recommended because the backpack itself offers no protection for fragile electronics. I'd say you could make it work, but I'm not sure if it will still be comfortable!
