day pack

Light hiking bag

A day pack is a small backpack designed for short excursions rather than overnight trips.

It typically holds essentials like water, snacks, a jacket, and personal items for hiking, sightseeing, or commuting: I grabbed my day pack for the trail.

Distinguished from larger backpacks by its compact size and lighter construction.
