Not quite as minimalist as the name may suggest, this day pack still manages to fit in a small hydration bladder pouch, secure space for a laptop, a sit pad, and 3 mesh pockets. It’s lightweight and made of strong durable materials.
Gossamer Gear says:
This hard wearing beast of a pack combines an awesome space/weight ratio and comfortable durability suitable for the mountains or the Metro.Constructed entirely of our custom fabrics this pack is tough but definitely not tender. Stuff all the layers, food and water you need and take this pack on a long day’s journey into whatever mother nature brings. Also fits a laptop, should you ever choose to return to civilization.
Our Verdict
A fantastic day pack for the trail or for urban living, a 19L main body that can snuggly fit in a laptop, and also contains a zipped stash pocket and room for a hydration bladder. The large external mesh pocket can stash wet trail gear or gym shoes comfortably and the “air mesh” fabric on the Shoulder straps are incredibly well ventilating and provide a lot of cushion making this a pleasure to wear.
However, the two mesh water bottle pockets located on the side of the pack are a little underwhelming. A thin “smart water” bottle or 500ml bottle will snuggly fit, and I mean snuggly. A Nalgene bottle (the international standard of all hiking measurements) will not fit, no matter how hard I tried, The pockets are very narrow and quite tall, meaning, whatever you do put in there will stay put, but you are limited, in regards to what drinking container you take. This of course is no problem if you are using a bladder, but something to consider in a more urban setting, especially if this will be a gym bag.
The removable foam back pad, if a little fiddly to remove, once out makes a good sit pad, and once out, the backpack itself packs down incredibly small so it can be stashed, very useful for international travel.
