The 18-liter that commutes
A laptop sleeve that hides on Saturday. Straps that do not announce themselves on the train.
Not every pack needs ice-tool keepers. The Col Daypack is the one-zip carry for a laptop on Friday and trail mix on Saturday. The sleeve hides when you do not need it. The straps do not read as “backpacker” in a meeting.
If your weekend is longer than a day, step up to the Switchback 32. If it is a city-to-trail loop, this is the bag.
