The Removable Daypack- Styles, Selection and Tips for Backpackers

If you are planning a multi day trip, either across the mountain or across the world, then one of the smartest things you can buy is a backpack with a removable daypack attached. Many brand names, such as The North Face and Kelty feature these types of bags. The removable daypack clips onto the front of the larger backpack and is perfect for sightseeing and day explorations while on vacation. No one wants to carry their 75 liter bag with them around the city- with a removable daypack, you don’t have to.

Style and Selection

When choosing a removable daypack, you want to make sure it has enough compartments to fit all your stuff. Most removable daypacks will be on the smaller side and will hold just enough room for items such as a travel guide, a camera, a bottle of water and a jumper for those chilly days.

Try to find a removable daypack which also features a secret compartment for your passport and extra spending cash, just in case.

Additional Removable Daypack Tips

• Try not to fill your daypack with more than 12 kilograms. Anything more than this and it will get too heavy and most likely hurt your shoulders by the end of the day.
• Pack the items you will need the most at the front or on top.
• Try to find a day pack with mesh water bottle holders on each side. You can stay hydrated throughout your site seeing or outdoor activities without constantly having to take off your backpack and reload.
• It’s also a good idea to look for a backpack that includes a padded hip belt, especially if you are planning on carrying your backpack for a long time.
• Another important feature is a resilient zipper. There is nothing more annoying than having a zipper break or split. Look into the various brands of zippers to make sure your backpack daypack is built to last.

A removable backpack will not take up much room at all so you can still easily run from tourist spot to tourist spot, jump from train to tram and explore all the wonders of wherever the road takes you.
