The North Face Name for Daypacks- What to Expect and What to Buy

When it comes to a daypack, you are probably looking for something that is versatile for both work and play. Students may need an everyday backpack to tote their bags around campus. You, on the other hand, are probably looking for a more outdoorsy type of backpack that can handle the climate and whatever the day brings. Although the North Face specialises in all types of backpacks, for those wanting a daypack that can keep up with their outdoor activities, then the North Face is the only name you need to know.

Tips for Daypacks

Cycling, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, camping, running and any other physical sport will require a daypack, especially if you set out for a long period of time. You need to always always always carry water with you. On long distances also carry food, an extra pair of socks and a first aid kit just in case. It’s a good idea to through in either rain gear or sun gear (hat, sunscreen, bug spray) depending on the season and the weather.

What to Look for in a Daypack

First and foremost, a daypack should be able to endure all weather conditions. Daypacks are either made out of nylon or canvases which are semi-waterproof. However, if you are planning on doing a lot of canoeing or kayaking where your backpack may get wet, opt for a waterproof lining to keep your gear dry.

Also make sure your daypack includes large compartments on the side and on the front. This will store easy-to-access items such as water, a camera and a quick snack for the road.

Laminated back panels with breathable mesh are also a plus as you will stay cooler. Make sure your daypack also includes a shoulder strap and hip belt for those long hikes. The last thing you need is your daypack hurting your shoulders and slowing you down.
