    Anybody know what kind of pack he's carrying in this photo?

    Looks like a nice little ruck. My old rei daypack is on its last leg. I would love to find something simple, durable and comfortable to replace it with. Been looking at the Oware daypacks… Maybe too minimalist? Also, I've gotten used to water bottle pockets.

    Cheers

    I picked one up for less than $25 shipped. I think they are still on sale. Hoping to find someone to add some outer pockets to it. Also check out Gossamer Gear. They have several light day packs.

    I drooled over the Zimmerbuilt daypack a couple times but haven't pulled the trigger because I like a water bottle pocket too. Maybe worth asking what it'd cost to do a custom version.

    Here is a Daypack with an added pocket, http://www.williswall.com/60/2015/2/19/custom-tools-zimmerbuilt-packs.html

    I just ordered a Hybrid Daypack without pockets :-)

    cheers,

    I love my flash 18. Got it on sale for $20 or $25 a few black fridays ago. Survived 200 days of hard trail work in the Mojave and is still hanging in there. Hell I did an overnighter with it once.

    I have a Zimmerbuilt Hybrid Daypack and love it. I ordered it without the front daisy chain. About 7oz. http://www.zimmerbuilt.com/backpacks.html

    I also have a Quickstep I use for summer. Great lightweight pack.

    Hi,

    I don't count on ounces in daypack. Why? Because I'm carrying a small amount of food in it, no shelter, no other items I would carry on a overnighter. So I go the classic daypacks route which are comfortable, affordable but heavy (2-3 pounds). Climbed mount Hermon twice with Gregory Z30 for example (above 6500 ft elevation gain) – was extremely comfortable. I consider my day hikes as "training" toward long hikes and for keeping the good form&fit.

    The Gossamer Gear Type 2 is a really nice daypack. Sophisticated shape, comfy shoulder straps, nice side pockets, and a removeable belt with large pockets.
