Product Summary
Hyperlite’s Daybreak Ultralight Day Pack is a versatile, durable, and lightweight backpack designed for one- to two-day outings. Constructed with Hyperlite’s signature Dyneema material, this daypack is a very durable bag that can be used for both city day trips or a short hike in the mountains. The minimalist design includes a large front pocket, two side pockets for water bottles, a traditional side zipper, an internal laptop sleeve, and a secured internal pocket to store your phone or other valuables. It also includes removable ice axe and trekking pole attachments.
With an internal capacity of 17 liters and external capacity of 6 liters, this day pack is not designed to use for multiple day trips. Weighing just 1.3 pounds, this lightweight bag has a load capacity of 25 pounds. The Dyneema material is waterproof, which, while appreciated by many users, receives one common complaint: It is not well ventilated and can feel hot on your back. Hyperlite’s Daybreak Ultralight Day Pack is one of the pricier day bags on the market.
