Hiking daypacks for day walks, summit pushes and everyday carry

A good daypack carries your water, snacks, layers and essentials without weighing you down. Our hiking daypacks are chosen for comfort, smart organisation and durability, whether you're doing a short bushwalk, a big summit day or the daily commute. They come from brands trusted by hikers, emergency services and military personnel across Australia.

The range is led by Osprey, one of the most trusted names in hiking backpacks worldwide. For fast, comfortable day hikes, choose the Osprey Talon 22 or Talon 26, or their women's-specific equivalents, the Osprey Tempest 22 and Tempest 26. For longer days on the trail, the men's Osprey Stratos 36 and women's Osprey Sirrus 36 add extra capacity and a ventilated back panel. The Daylite Plus is an easy everyday pack. Browse the full Osprey backpack range to compare every model.

Alongside Osprey you'll find the Exped Typhoon 25 and Cloudburst 25 for wet-weather adventures, the packable Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Day Pack and Osprey Ultralight Dry Stuff Pack 20L for travel and summit pushes, and the Fjällräven Skule 28 for a pack that moves easily from trail to town.
