Daypacks

Daypacks are not only suitable for hikes and outdoor tours, but also for daily use. Whether in the urban jungle, as a shopping assistant, or for work, university, or school: A daypack is an ideal companion, as it offers sufficient space for all the things you need in everyday situations or on an excursion.

Meister Messer offers you a wide selection of daypacks for women and men. In our online shop, you will find backpacks designed specifically for outdoor use as well as EDC backpacks for everyday use. We explain how to find the optimal model for you in our buying guide.

What distinguishes a daypack?

When it comes to a daypack - also known as a daypack or city backpack - it is a small to medium-sized backpack designed for short trips or daily use. In other words, daypacks make it easy to carry everything you need for a day. The main characteristics of daypacks include:

• Compact size: Daypacks are compact and handy, yet offer enough space for daily essentials – such as a water bottle, snacks, and a book or tablet. This makes them seamlessly fit into the urban lifestyle, but they are also essential for short hikes or day trips.
• Lightweight: Compared to most other types of backpacks, daypacks have a relatively low weight, which proves to be advantageous especially during longer carrying times. Daypacks are usually made of lightweight yet durable materials such as nylon or polyester.
• Versatile: One of the biggest advantages of daypacks is their versatility. They are at home both in the city and in nature. Many models offer special features such as reflective elements for safety on the road or attachment options for hiking gear, making them an ideal choice for various activities.
• Thoughtful Design: Modern daypacks are true organizational talents. They often feature special compartments for electronic devices, key holders, and other organizational aids that make it easier to find smaller items.
• High wearing comfort: Ergonomically shaped shoulder straps that adapt to the body shape, as well as breathable back padding, ensure that the backpack sits comfortably even when fully loaded and worn for longer periods.

Daypacks for outdoor enthusiasts: Have everything you need in nature with you

Daypacks for hiking, climbing tours, and other outdoor adventures are specially designed to meet the unique challenges of activities in the great outdoors. They are made of durable materials that are not only resistant to abrasion and tears, but can also withstand extreme weather conditions.

The ability to defy the weather is an essential feature of outdoor daypacks. Many models are equipped with water-repellent or even completely waterproof coatings, or have integrated rain covers to protect the contents of the backpack from rain and moisture. This ensures that your equipment and provisions stay dry even in unpredictable weather changes.

Daypacks for outdoor tours often offer a slightly larger capacity than models designed for everyday use. This allows you to store everything you need for a day in nature - such as change of clothes and provisions. Typically, the volume of outdoor daypacks ranges between 20 and 30 liters.

Daypacks for everyday use: Stylish and well-equipped throughout the day

Meanwhile, daypacks are increasingly finding everyday use. The so-called city backpacks offer sufficient storage space for your personal belongings and score high on wearing comfort. In addition, the backpacks are also an expression of your personal style.

Daypacks for everyday use are characterized by their functionality and urban design, suitable for both work and leisure activities. You can find daypacks in a variety of designs and colors that match different clothing styles and occasions. Modern daypacks combine aesthetics with practicality, allowing you to forgo a classic handbag or briefcase.

Many models feature special compartments for laptops and tablets as well as pockets for phones, keys, and other small items. These help you keep things organized and have everything important quickly at hand. Padded shoulder straps and breathable back padding ensure that the backpack is comfortable to carry even when fully loaded.

Daypacks for Women: Elegance meets Functionality

Daypacks for women are specially tailored to the needs and style of the modern woman. With their sleek designs and sophisticated colors and patterns, they provide a stylish alternative to traditional handbags. City backpacks for women are not only a fashion statement, but also ideal for the versatile everyday life of a woman - be it at work, while shopping, or when traveling.

Functionality is also a top priority for a women's daypack - without compromising on design. Intelligent compartmentalization, secure closure mechanisms, and comfortable carrying systems ensure that you are optimally equipped in every situation.

Daypacks for Men: Useful Companions for Everyday Life and Outdoor Adventures

Whether for the way to work, for sports activities, or for weekend getaways: A daypack for men proves to be practical in a variety of situations and can complement both business outfits and casual wear. With their rather straightforward and simple design, the backpacks are a perfect match for an active lifestyle.

High-quality materials and solid craftsmanship ensure that the backpacks can withstand daily demands. Intelligent compartments and special pockets for technical devices such as laptops or tablets make city backpacks the ideal accessory for professionals. For hiking trips and the like, outdoor daypacks for men are particularly suitable, featuring a highly functional design and, for example, attachment points for equipment.

Buying Guide: What to look for when buying a daypack

Since many different models are offered in the market, choosing the right daypack can be a challenge. To identify the optimal design, it is necessary to consider various aspects. The following variables are particularly important:

• Purpose of use: First consider what you primarily want to use the backpack for. Do you need it for your commute to work, for occasional hikes, or for both? A backpack for daily use should be light and compact. Outdoor daypacks should be as sturdy as possible and also a bit more spacious.
• Capacity: For everyday use, a small daypack with a volume of 10 to 20 liters is often sufficient. For full-day outdoor activities such as hiking or climbing, however, daypacks with a volume between 20 and 30 liters are more suitable. Also, keep in mind that an oversized backpack may prove impractical if not fully filled.
• Material: Pay attention to high material quality. Waterproof or water-repellent materials are important for outdoor backpacks, while other materials are suitable for urban everyday life. Durable material ensures a longer lifespan of the backpack - even with frequent use.
• Comfort: A daypack should be comfortable to carry. This is ensured by padded shoulder straps, a breathable back panel, and the ability to adjust the backpack to your body size. An ergonomically designed backpack helps to reduce the strain on the back and remains comfortable even when heavily loaded.
• Style and Design: Choose a backpack that matches your personal style. After all, daypacks are available in many different colors and designs. A backpack in a style that suits you not only reflects your personality but also complements your outfit.
• Additional Features: Daypacks can offer various additional functions. These include, among other things, laptop compartments, hidden pockets for valuables, side water bottle pockets, and attachment points for extra gear. Corresponding features can significantly improve the organization and access to your belongings.
