25L daypack

• 25L daypack with an expandable section that takes spare layers, lunch and a rain jacket for a full day, and leaves room when you pack more than you meant to.
• Contoured shoulder straps and a padded mesh back panel with spine support, plus a hip belt that moves the load onto your hips on long descents.
• Hard-wearing nylon shell over a polyester lining, water resistant and breathable, so a shower on the tops does not double the weight on your back.
• Compression straps on both sides pull a light load tight, and it stops swinging when the ground turns rough or you start scrambling.
• Reflective panels on the front and sides pick up headlights after dark, and an SOS survival whistle comes fitted.

25L daypack for a full day on the hill

Twenty-five litres is the honest size for a day on the hill: spare layers, lunch, a rain jacket, a flask, and nothing strapped to your back that belongs on a week-long exercise. The Hikers Day Pack 25L carries that load the way it should be carried, with contoured shoulder straps, a padded mesh back panel with spine support, and a hip belt that shifts the weight off your shoulders on the long walk down. Compression straps down both sides pull the load in tight, and the stretch side pockets take a bottle or a folded flysheet. The nylon shell sheds a passing shower, and the reflective panels earn their place in winter when the light goes early and the last stretch is done on a road with cars on it.
