Below I’ll cover a few factors that you should consider before buying a minimalist backpack.

At the same time, it is small enough to not add unneeded weight and bulkiness for a short hike and it will force you to think about what is essential during your time out in nature. This pack from Kelty comes in two different sizes (50L and 44L) and one of the packs is designed specifically for women. Also, the Talon lacks built-in rain protection or water-resistant fabrics, so it's not ideal for extremely wet situations. Our favorites, the Osprey Talon 22 and REI Co-op Traverse 35, are among the only packs with a fully cushioned hip belt, load lifters, and ventilation, all of which add comfort. Remember this: REI has one of the best return policies of any outdoor gear retailer.

If you are the kind of minimalist hiker that likes to keep things organized, the Osprey Daylite Plus makes it easy to keep your stuff squared away. It pulls no punches in design to be an easy to use and comfortable pack.

32-oz water bottles while… on the go. My first impression was that, empty, the bag felt small. We also used this load for our calisthenics testing to evaluate load stability. It's easy to tie on a loop of webbing on one of the bottom loops of the pack for a lower ice axe carry, if you prefer.

We gave two Editors' Choice awards this year: one for the most versatile small daypack, and the other for the best daypack for heavy loads, which the Traverse took handily. Limiting what you can bring on any given journey is at the core of minimalist travel and philosophy. All trademarks property of their respective owners

The Traverse really shines in awkward movements with a moderate to heavy load. I understand that for some backpackers, hiking just isn’t their thing.

The Traverse carries pretty much anything you could think to bring on a day trip, and it does so comfortably and conveniently.

After a day of use, we could retrieve our hose, drink, and then tightly secure it back on the shoulder strap without even looking down. That said, I will not insult the adventurous lady-readers of this blog by offering up a pink, flimsy, featureless backpack. More information.

The women-specific Terra 55 provides a great combination of comfort and access.

As implied by its name, the pack has an internal capacity of 35 liters and weighs a shade over 3 pounds. I only link to stuff I’ve actually used and never endorse crap. While it's only single-walled, it held up nicely to bushwhacking and scrambling that can tear up other packs.

Check out my full review of the Osprey Stratos 36. As a heavy-duty pack for tough adventures, it might be overkill for some occasions. In order to get the most of each backpack, the ones featured in this review have created some pretty ingenious organizational features. We’ll send you a few emails every week. The lightweight packs will show wear in a year or two of regular use. Halloween is Special (Join our Patreon!

Compared to this pack, panel-loaders wetted out much faster by letting water in through their zippers. While the ultralight REI Co-op Flash 22 is minimalist, it carries moderate loads stably due to its thoughtfully padded shoulder straps.

We ground the fabric and zipper of the Ortlieb Atrack 25 into the gravel bed of a river to test its durability and submersibility, and it came out without even a scratch. The Traverse competes most directly with other burly, feature-rich packs that prioritize convenience and comfort over range of motion or moving fast.
