Read: Rucksack buying guide / When to replace your rucksack
Heading out for a day on the hills? The right day pack is a total game-changer. Our collection of day hiking packs is all about carrying your supplies for a single day’s outing, from a scramble up a peak to a long walk through the woods. We have brilliant options from specialists like Osprey, focused on carrying performance and smart features.
These packs are loaded with great technology. You’ll find advanced back systems with suspended mesh panels that create airflow, helping to keep you cool on a tough climb. They are made to move with you, with well-padded shoulder straps and supportive hip belts. Most are hydration-ready, with a sleeve for a water bladder, and feature handy stretch pockets for bottles and snacks. Made from tough, recycled nylons with water-repellent coatings, these day hiking packs are built to handle the mountain environment.
