FAQs

What size day pack do I need for hiking?

23L hits the sweet spot for day hikes - enough room for water, snacks, extra layers, and your essentials without feeling like you're carrying a house on your back. The Heysen handles most day adventures comfortably.

Is this good for travel?

Absolutely. The Heysen works great as a travel day pack with proper compartments, comfortable straps, and construction that’s durable and reliable. Perfect for exploring cities or day trips.

How many compartments should a day pack have?

The Heysen has three compartments, which is great for keeping things organised without getting complicated.

What makes this different from a basic backpack?

Real outdoor features: external water bottle pockets you can reach while walking, walking pole loops, shock cord for extra gear, and stabilising straps for extra comfort and support. Most basic packs skip these details.

Will 23L hold everything I need for a day hike?

Yes - water, food, extra layers, first aid, phone, wallet, and hiking essentials fit comfortably. The triple compartment system helps you use every bit of space efficiently.

Do I need the waist and chest straps?

They make a big difference on longer hikes by spreading the weight and stopping the pack from bouncing around. You can tuck them away for casual use if you don't need them.
