First time looking into getting a hiking specific day pack. Looking for something along the 18l - 22l range. Just for me to store:
1. water (either in bottle or water bag)
2. additional clothes/layer (hiking fleece and hard shell when not in use)
3. Trekking pole
4. Miscellaneous stuff such as snacks, personal equipment etc.
Im currently using a Savotta Kahakka 15 and found that it wasnt the most comfortable carrying heavier loads. (Tested it with 10kg over 7-10km). I also think something slightly larger might be useful if im bringing extra clothes other than my fleece/hard shell.
I tested the Osprey Hikelite 18 instore and it seemed like a solid contender. Does anyone have any other recommendations? Or any feedback on the hikelite 18l?
