Ultralight but backcountry-worthy, Gossamer Gear’s Type II Clima weighs next to nothing but provides support enough to make full use of the 15 liters of packable space. I barely notice the pack with a ventilated back panel on day hikes or bike commutes into town.
The pack is weather-resistant and features stretchy mesh outer pockets for water bottles or layers, and an internal bladder or laptop sleeve and compartment for sunglasses. There are also a few external attachment points for trekking poles or other gear, but no unnecessary bells and whistles, making the Clima 15 a minimalist’s dream daypack. MSRP: $120.
