Osprey daypack

The LL Bean Stowaway Pack is a workhorse for hiking, traveling, or on-the-go adventure. This stowable pack delivers in spades, including plenty of storage, padded mesh for comfort on the back and shoulder straps, and a clean aesthetic.

The main highlight of the Stowaway is just how lightweight and compressible it is.

This stylish award winner weighs a mere 14 ounces.

What size backpack for day hike

It only takes about a minute to transform into a package only 6 inches square. At that size, it easily fits in a suitcase or backpack when heading out on longer trips, making this bag a perfect choice whether you’re day hiking or traveling around the world.

And, the Stowaway is super functional. This model punches well above its weight class for organization and comfort, featuring six functional pockets, adjustable sternum and waist straps, and multiple colorways. It’s made of 75D ripstop polyester, making it more durable than other packable backpacks.

This is the ideal bag to deploy for side trips, summits, and smaller excursions while you leave the rest of your gear behind for a bit.
