From "Category Removal: Lightweight (Under 400g) ~20L Pack"
Section: Intro & Context
For a good while we've had a number of ~20L "days packs" cued up for testing. The problem is we've not found time to test them. So, providing genuine, thorough reviews of small packs when our focus is on long distance treks has become tricky.
Back in the day, we were interested in day packs that could double as side pouches / pods on larger backpacks, allowing users on long treks (punctuated by short stays) to leave their large pack at camp and switch to their 20L pack for short round-trips. However, a) this isn't really how we go about things, and b) with the design and introduction of the 11L Towers, we've largely abandoned the "day pack as side pouch" approach.
