The Ultimate Bag for Day Trips
Meet Dan. (Yes, we love this daypack so much we named him.)
No More Bulky Backpacks & Plastic Bag Guilt
After years of packing canvas shopping totes (which we usually forgot) or dragging my husband David’s ancient, bulky backpack into market squares and shopping arcades, we finally found the ideal lightweight pack, thanks to Tripped Travel Gear.
Since bringing him home, we’ve said goodbye to plastic-bag-laden walks of shame and bulky backpacks that cause shoulder and back pain.
Dan’s a fantastic travel buddy and carries everything our old backpack did to make our day trips go smoothly.
Best Feature of All:
He folds up and zips up to take up less space. (Unlike the guy on the airplane spreading his way into your seat.)
Yep, Dan’s a paradox. He folds up small enough to fit in our suitcase, yet holds a ridiculous amount of stuff for a frameless backpack. He’s got a roomy main compartment, two internal and two external pockets. All ready to fill for a full day of exploring. (Or shopping!)
I’m talking camera gear, snacks, scarves, hats, beach towels, a change of clothes, souvenirs, sunscreen, etc. Basically all the small things I usually carry in my purse for a quick pause to shop or refresh. And he’s got two external pouches for water bottles, with straps to fortify taller containers.
What Makes Dan the Best Daypack for Travel?
- Lightweight pack – Just 14 oz (28 g). He’s slim but mighty.
- Roomy – 35 liter capacity
- Foldable & Collapsible – Folds down to sandwich-size.
- Breathable Straps – For those sweaty days under a hot sun.
- Designed with Women in Mind. Closer shoulder straps for a better fit and adjustable side straps to adjust for height.
- Water Resistant – Because sometimes “50% chance of rain” turns into a downpour worthy of an ark.
- Carry-On Approved – Fits easily under airplane seats
- Ripstop Nylon – Durable enough for hikes, stylish enough for shopping.
- Hydration Enabled – Two mesh water bottle pockets for those hot days.
- Warranty for broken seams, zippers and manufacturer defects
- Price – Only $24.95

Have you bought one?
Let us know what you named yours.
A: Yes! The shoulder straps are designed to be closer together for a better fit, but they are fully adjustable to accommodate a wide range of body types, including men. My husband David uses it regularly and loves it. Source: personal experience
A: Absolutely. It’s made with ripstop nylon, which makes it surprisingly tough. We’ve used it for full days of walking on cobblestone streets and for lighter hikes without any issues. Source: personal experience
A: Yes, it’s carry-on approved. Because it’s a frameless backpack and folds up so small, it easily fits under the seat in front of you as your personal item. Source: Tripped Travel Gear and personal experience
A: Its 35-liter capacity is perfect for a family day out. We’ve used it to carry snacks, drinks, a camera, a light jacket for the kids, and souvenirs all at once, without it feeling heavy or bulky. Source: Tripped Travel Gear and personal experience
