What's the difference between Daypacks and Hiking bags?
Hi there, hopefully this is the right sub!
I'm getting further into the hiking gear rabbit hole as of recently and have been checking out some bags. Usually, I am more of a multi-day hiker and currently have Osprey's Exos 48, however this bag tends to be too big when I am wanting to just go for a single day hike or a light travel with other company.
Because of this, I am looking to invest into a hiking bag that I can use for shorter hikes that generally require less stuff. At the same time, my current day pack is in tatters. This is the bag I take with me on the train or just general tasks throughout the day. So I'm curious to see if there's an option that can combine the two. A hiking bag that I can also use as a general day pack.
So this leads to my question. What is the difference between me getting a daypack and a hiking bag? I have seen that the hiking bags are slightly more expensive, though they also offer much better comfort due to the better support and hip belts, etc. So why would I not get a 'hike light' backpack over a daypack other than price? Do these bags tend to not have compartments that I can slide documents/devices into? Am I going to end up having more of a sack rather than a compartmented bag?
Just looking for general advice here or just a better understanding of the differences between these two if people would be willing to explain that to me! Thanks!
