Daypacks Checklist

Internal Frame? Get a pack with an internal frame or framesheet. Doing so transfers the weight of the pack off your shoulders and onto your hips.
Enough Pockets? Some daypacks have few pockets, others have a ton. Match the style of the pack to your needs.
Capacity. Better to have a slightly bigger pack then needed than one that is too small. 1500-2500 cubic inches is a good size, depending on where you hike, when you do it and what you carry. You "can" get a smaller capacity IF you carry all your water on a hip belt.
Enough Padding? The more padding, the better, as it makes the pack more comfortable.
Say "No" to School Backpacks. These packs do not have an internal frame, a hip belt, or much of anything else to make carrying the pack over long-distances a pleasant experience. Remember...even a 15 pound pack can feel like King Kong after 10 hours spent wandering around in the mountains!
