A modern-looking, ultralight day pack, the Wy’east has all of the weight-trimming tricks of an ultralight multi-day backpack, minus all but the essential trimmings condensed into a smaller 30-liter package. Well-thought design features include built-in shoulder strap pockets for a phone, snacks, or other sundries; deep, stretchy mesh side pockets to hold water bottles; an internal zippered stash pocket; a removeable hip belt; an internal pad you can pull out and sit on; and a hydration sleeve. A perfect pack for day hikes, urban adventures, chicken-bus vagabonding, and simple overnighters. MSRP: $155. Sixmoondesigns.com
