Deuter ACT Lite 25
My typical daypack is The North Face Neutron 34. It fits practically everything, camera, clothes, laptop etc. 34 liters is good, but trying the Deuter ACT Lite 25, this is much better.
First, I like Deuters Air Contact technology better than The North Face back panel. Deuter made sure that air could come between the back and the bag. So sweat and heat is not a problem. Yes, it is impossible not to sweat on trips but the air coming from the mesh wicks away moisture.
Another good thing about the ACT Lite 25 is that it fits a 3L bladder, so it’s capable of hands-free hydration which is useful on biking and also on trekking if you want both hands free.
I use this pack both on challenging trek and also as a daily pack so it takes a lot of synthetic and organic abuse.
Unlike TNF Neutron 34, it lacks a rain cover, which you have to buy separately (Php300-600) in various outdoor shops locally. I’m 5’5″ and I find this pack amazingly comfortable, and the hip belt fits well.
For a daypack, I highly recommend getting a Deuter ACT Lite 25. Good for hiking/trekking, long or medium bike rides, or a day in the mountains. It is also good for the everyday urban commutes and will serve you well for years.
You can buy this online or locally at ROX or Toby’s.
