"But it's true that the question was backpacks for day trips, so it depends a little on what one imagines as a day trip. A hike? A trip around the city? A tour in winter or summer? A cycling trip? A picnic somewhere along the coast?"

The best of small, light and fast
When weight and maneuverability are more important than volume, very small backpacks with a volume of less than 20 liters are relevant. They mostly belong to the category of so-called running backpacks or everyday backpacks . Montana Trailblazer 8 Backpack 2024 |
 Montana Trailblazer 16 Women's Backpack 2024 |
 Montana Trailblazer 18 Backpack 2024 |
Our experts were pretty unanimous. The Montana Trailblazer family is the ultimate in ultra-small backpacks.
"Montane trailblazer is also a top choice for one-day bike trips, in case you need to throw some more equipment with you. It is light, but it really clings to the body... ideal for those who pay attention to aerodynamics"
"Sometimes the Montana Trailblazer 8 is enough!"
"As for the little Trailblazers, they're great for people who carry very little stuff up in the hills in the summer. For me, for example, it's great for running, for example, for yoga, because I can attach a pad to it underneath (on the shoulder straps, it's not official "feature") or in the morning if I plan to buy breakfast on the spot."
A tough battle between medium-sized - 18 to 25 liters
There is much less uniformity in medium-sized small backpacks. Here, our experts have found a whole range of good options. Osprey Hikelite 18 2024 hiking backpack |
"For some summer hunting Osprey Hikelite 18..." |
 Osprey Talon 22 Backpack |
"I would choose the Talon 22. "The Talon 22 is just the right size. It also has a mesh on the back." |
 Osprey Tempest 24 Women's Backpack |
"I really like the Osprey Tempest 24 - it has everything you need and it's great for those of us who need a shorter back :)" "The Tempest 24 is a great choice if they don't want a mesh back.." "If I were to buy a backpack for day trips right now, it would very likely be the Tempest 24, because it fits really nicely on a shorter back, is light and also a visually pleasing model." "I'm joining the Tempest (w)/Talon(m) team, the back is great for me too. It's nice because there are 2 back lengths for both men and women and both are additionally adjustable so that the backpack can really be optimal you adjust for yourself." |
More spacious - over 25 liters
There is also a wide range of larger small backpacks. This is what our sellers would choose: Salewa Alp Trainer 25 Backpack |
"Depends on the length of the tour, the time of year + what fits the person on the back. I have a Salewa Alp Trainer 25, but it's true that I usually have clothes for three in my backpack." |
 Deuter Futura 27 Backpack |
 Montana Azote 25 backpack |
 Osprey Hikelite 26 Backpack |
"For me personally, the Deuter Futura 27, or the Montane Azote 25, or the Osprey Hikelite 26 would suit me best. They all have enough room for everything I need for a day trip, even for my juggling antics, which means it has to have enough room for at least 4 skittles and balls + everything else, food and drink, windbreaker, of course, Xero Z-trail EV sandals, etc... it's great if they have a good side belt to relieve my shoulders because I usually have a rather heavy backpack."
 Osprey Sirrus 26 Women's Backpack |
"I think the Sirrus 26 is the best, especially because of the back." "As far as I can see customers, the Sirrus 26 suits them very well." |
