It doesn't look like the bag is well designed for pulling things out of the main compartment unless it's lying down on its back. The middle zipper of the main compartment. Things about the Fit Pack 3 that I'm unsure of: This is an annoyance about the Everyday Backpack that I didn't realize would bother me until I started to use the bag. The Fit Pack 3 seems to be able to sit upright on its own. will feel substantially lighter when I'm carrying the bag with only a few items. Not a fan of the Everyday Backpack's weight. Currently have a Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L and I like the size.
The Fit Pack 3 looks to have enough depth to fit my glasslock tupperware upright.Ģ0L size and relatively light. I want to be able to put my lunch in my bag and most backpacks seem geared to hold slim profile items. Main storage compartment that has decent amount of depth. We chose packs designed for the elements and carefully studied their additional weatherproofing features, such as laminated linings, taped seams, and waterproof zippers.Currently looking at the Aer Fit Pack 3 for use as an EDC bag, but want to see what my other options are. At a minimum, a pack should provide enough protection to keep you and your gear dry through at least a few minutes of wet weather. Weather resistance: Although a few bags we liked, such as the Matador Freerain24 and the Triple Aught Azimuth, come extremely close, total waterproofing is a lot to ask of any lightweight bag.It’s enough to accommodate a 13-inch laptop, along with some rain protection, a camera, an extra layer of clothing, and whatever else you might need for a day about town.

20- to 25-liter capacity: This seems to be the ideal range for a pack that can hold a full day’s worth of stuff while remaining reasonably lightweight and portable. Durable construction methods: The better packs often feature more careful construction, visible in details such as tighter stitching, bar tacking at the seams, YKK zippers, and reinforced bottoms. The fabrics and composite materials used in higher-quality bags are both light and durable while also remaining nearly invulnerable to water. High-quality materials: Because a packable daypack needs to be able to carry at least some weight when in use but still fold up for storage, materials make the difference between a lightweight pack that feels cheap and flimsy versus one that you feel confident filling to the max and carrying into a rainstorm. The drawback of adding more organization is that it decreases the packability of a bag and often contributes to weight. Beyond those, internal dividers to organize cargo and external pockets that can keep small, frequent-use items (such as water bottles) in reach are both useful. Organization: Most packable daypacks come with at least two compartments-the largest, or main, compartment and the (usually attached) pouch into which the whole pack stows away. If these features are missing it’s fine, if the price is right (less than $30), but they do add a lot of versatility. The best daypacks add features like sternum straps and ventilated back panels. The wearability of a bag usually comes down to its load distribution and support system. Ergonomic features: Stowable daypacks can look and feel like stuff sacks with straps, or they can be full, ergonomically shaped backpacks. Carrying capacity generally correlates to the weight and size of a bag, except in more explicitly technical packs, which may cut down on weight by using lighter, but more expensive, materials.
Weight, size, and capacity: The whole point of a packable daypack is that it packs well, so weight and compressed size are important factors.
