daysack

Light hiking bag

A daysack is a small backpack designed for day trips rather than overnight expeditions.

The term is primarily British, equivalent to American "daypack." It carries essentials—water, snacks, a jacket—for hiking or sightseeing without the bulk of a full rucksack: I grabbed my daysack and headed for the trail.
