The trusty REI Co-op Flash 22 stands out for its value in our Best Daypacks review. This is a lightweight and surprisingly comfortable minimalist daypack that makes it quite versatile as well. We were impressed by how well this ultra-lightweight pack carried loads. It has a thin piece of foam padding for a frame, side pockets for water bottles, and an ice axe loop. It doesn't have much more than those features, but that's usually all we want in a daypack anyway. We've been using versions of the Flash for over 10 years, and the newest version sets the standard for affordable and lightweight daypacks. We've even used this pack for running. And while it does bounce around some, the lightweight build makes it work well enough for moving quickly on the trail. 
With a single layer of ultralight fabric, the Flash 22 isn't the most durable pack out there. However, the ripstop nylon it's constructed with is durable and easily patchable if you do experience any wear. This pack isn't great for heavy loads, either. But we don't expect that with a sub-one-pound pack. If you're looking for an affordable pack that works for hiking, commuting, travel, or bringing along backpacking as a day pack, this is a great choice. This pack is available in multiple sizes and colors as well.

Switchback Travel

REI Co-op’s Flash line of daypacks has been a mainstay among hikers, travelers, and those on a budget for years. And with a recent update, the latest Flash 22 is more competitive than ever. Simplicity wins out here: The Flash 22 is frameless by design, meaning it lacks the rigidity of other daypacks but manages to keep weight extremely low at just 14 ounces (and even less if you take out the back pad or sternum strap). You don’t get a cushy hipbelt or shoulder straps, but the padded mesh along the back and shoulders does a good job at keeping you comfortable when carrying lighter loads. Perhaps most importantly, the Flash costs just $60, is well built overall, and has enough capacity for all-day outings on the trail (provided you pack relatively light).

As we touched on above, the Flash 22 was updated recently with some noteworthy changes. For an ounce more than its predecessor, the latest pack utilizes a nylon and polyester construction throughout (the prior model was just nylon with mesh water bottle pockets) with solution-dyed materials that require considerably less water during production. The top lid was also tweaked and now includes two buckles rather than one for snugging things down, and the Packmod bungee can be moved up or down to customize gear attachments. But some downsides remain: The Flash 22 isn't a standout in all-out comfort and support for shuttling a heavy load over long distances, materials are on the thinner end for rough use, and it’s only sold in one size. But if you can keep weight to a minimum, the Flash 22 is a great way to go fast and light on a budget. For an even lighter and more streamlined version, check out REI’s $20-cheaper Flash 18...

r/onebag

I hadn't planned to get the Flash, but after trying on a bunch, that one was the one that felt the best for me. If you're a beginner backpacker, you're probably hiking with some heavy and/or bulky gear, so it's even more important to get a comfortable pack that fits you properly (they'll measure you at the store).

Basically, in summer next year, I'm planning a hiking holiday, and I'm just wondering if anyone on here knows of any good (preferably frameless) hiking bags.

I do already have a bag which, if nothing else works (I can't include any info about it, unfortunately, as it was a gift, and, at least of the top of my head, I can't remember any details about it), but I'd just like to see what people recommend before I make any decisions.

Any Recommendations For A Hiking Bag That Will Be Used Over Multiple Days

 This is a technically a frameless back pack. It has no suspension system or aluminum or plastic or any kind of stiff frame in here. It does have a little bit of a thin foam piece, call it a back panel. You can actually open up the water bladder and pull this back panel out like so and this is basically is offering you a little bit of support on your back and what if you're out and about on your day hike? you can actually pull this out and just set it right on the ground, pop a seat on that

 The same goes for the adjustable strap. Down here. you simply pull in each of these sides to go ahead and get the proper fit that you're looking for. Also on the sternum strap here you also have a built in integrated whistle

 But if you do have the trekking poles attached to the package so you can't expect the pack is, sit up very nicely. Alright, so now that this is fully loaded, let's take a peek on what this actually looks like on my back. [Music] This is my review of the REI Co-op Class 22 day pack.

REI Co-op Flash 22 Daypack - Full Review - 2019

 However, it is surprisingly comfy, giving you good support when you're carrying your items with you. Even though it offers minimalistic features, this characteristic does not take away from its clever build that sees to it that every part offers incredible support for its users. The foam frame sheet feels soft and it keeps sharp objects in your bag from piercing your back as you walk. Ventilation: For great ventilation! This day pack comes with padded mesh on the back panel and both shoulder straps

 On the outside, this daypack offers two pockets that are zipped and a storage area on the lid flap for storing small pieces of equipment. On either side of the daypack are two deep pockets ideal for water bottles and similar items. Sizing: This daypack only comes in one size, which is pretty unfortunate, but the size in which it comes is very convenient. Verdict: So should you buy the Rei Co-op Flash 22 Day Pack? Yes, you should

 Sizing: This daypack only comes in one size, which is pretty unfortunate, but the size in which it comes is very convenient. Verdict: So should you buy the Rei Co-op Flash 22 Day Pack?

This day pack is great for people who like to hike regularly and who do not have to carry overly heavy loads while at it

REI Co-op Flash 22 Daypack Review: Watch Before You Buy!

 but I had to move on last year I threw hiked to the Appalachian Trail and at trail days I received a free pack from Gregory and this was at a lot of thru-hikers got them. This is one of their free giveaways and honestly perfect slack pack and that's primarily why they used it for on trails. Since then, I've kind of used it as my day pack since we're in quarantine and the staying home orders are still in place. Haven't been doing a ton of hiking so this has kind of served me as just a multi-purpose stuff sack

 really. as you can see, it doesn't have any outside pockets, so getting anything in and out of here is very difficult. There's no hip belt and that was really my chief complaint about this style pack was that I really enjoy putting things on the outside of my pack including my water bottles for easy access every time I want to drink or snack I would have to take the pack off, open it up, take the stuff out, etc etc. and that got tiresome

 New to this version, the pockets are tighter, they are taller, and they will prevent your water bottle from falling out which is exactly why I wanted a new pack. So for a little demonstration, I've brought my smart water bottle with my solar squeeze on top of it. now to show you what I'm talking about, I'm going to demonstrate what this bottle look like on my old REI So on my old REI pack, the side pocket wasn't very deep, it wasn't very secure, it wasn't very tight, and although on the side of the bag with the bottle with my Sawyer squeeze on it, I was able to cinch this down and secure it to the pack and it would never fall out. On the other side where my other bottle was, it didn't have a Sawyer squeeze on it

 It's definitely something that's right up my alley. So I'm super excited about it. I'm not going to talk a ton about the features of this pack today because I plan on doing an in-depth video about this pack and what? I pack for my date hikes, so stick around for that video. but today I really just wanted to focus on a couple of the key things that I was super excited about and why I purchased this pack

REI Flash 22 Pack | New Gear!

For flights, as “personal item” stowed under seat in front in economy, this has a better volume and extra useful features like the flap lid and exterior mesh pockets compared with the Flash 18...but the Flash 18 is a lot narrower and I can stick a foot on either side with the Flash 18 but not the Flash 22, which tends to hog all the under seat space

More space and features than Flash 18 but wider

THis is a great little backpack. Only giving it 4 stars because the zipper didn't work very smoothly. Otherwise, no complaints!

Handy, durable but a little difficult to zip/unzip

The most comfortable pack is typically the one with nothing in it. 😊 Under load though, from my  collection it'd be the Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 24.

Looking for some recommendations. i find myself not really caring about aesthetics as much as i thought. I just want a VERY comfortable EDC backpack i can use as a "personal item" when im flying or when i just need to carry a bunch of sh\*t. i prioritize carry comfort over anything else. 

So, if you have owned a bag once upon a time, or now, and it's carry comfort sticks out to you more than anything else please name it here. Need a bit of guidance here guys...

the MOST comfortable backpacks you have ever owned (20L - 26L)

 Keep in mind this is a small/simple backpack, I would not recommend for any kind of serious outdooring. Great for a quick load up to head out for a trip though.

. So take this with a grain of salt. That being said, this is a fantastic pack for it's size. I think much of the criticism I have seen of this bag versus competitive products is that it lacks some features like exterior water bottle pockets, organization and a waist belt, but that's also one of the reasons I like this pack so much

 Everything in the bag is visible from the main compartment. Makes it easy to turn the dog hike bag into a quick overnight bag or picnic with the missus bag without having to worry about which pocket you put the bug spray in. Super comfortable and I have done a couple of 4+ hour hikes with it on in the Texas heat. Breaths well (not great but not bad at all), shoulder straps are very comfortable for long stretches and phenomenal build quality

Great Small Pack

 There are two internal sleeves with a security strap the larger one of these can fit laptops up to 15 inches, as we've come to expect from dana and the bunch at mystery ranch. This pack is built with highly durable 500 denier Cordura fabric, ensuring that it can stand up to any commute, be it from suburbs to city or from lake to tent. Now is your chance to bring backcountry toughness to campus or the office. This pack offers durable construction and an innovative zipper system which lets you confidently haul, your stuff, wherever your paths lead, it's the urban assault, 21 from mystery ranch for the full, specs and latest price click

Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21 Day Pack

 when loaded down, no matter the amount, I couldn't get the bag to be comfortable. I am a broad shouldered gentleman, and I had consistent shoulder pain after carrying the bag for half an hour every time no matter what I had loaded. I messed with the load lifters and all other straps and couldn't get it to work for me at all.  I may try the 24 to see if it works better, as the bag seems a little taller and wider, but as of now I can't give a full recommendation for the 21

 very easy to access everything in the bag -the suspended laptop pocket, side interior pockets, and top quick pocket are all great and easy to use  But the bad are what made me return this; -no exterior water bottle pocket(though, not that big of an issue) -bag is definitely heavy on its own vs others of this size -no dedicated hydration port -mesh doesn't breathe as well as I hoped, so if you get extra sweaty, maybe not for you -most importantly, and while I could forgive all of the other shortcomings before this, the harness system breaks this bag, at least for me. the bag seems super comfortable when I first tried it, after testing it for a week, it isn't for me. when loaded down, no matter the amount, I couldn't get the bag to be comfortable. I am a broad shouldered gentleman, and I had consistent shoulder pain after carrying the bag for half an hour every time no matter what I had loaded

A couple of shortcomings keep this from being perfect

 You can also fit like a large tablet on the inside. I'Ve just got like yeah my keyboard on the inside there and then laptop here now, one of the things i like. Let me just pull that laptop out, so you can see and then i'll just show you quick [ Music, ] kind of the amount of frame sheet. That'S here so decent amount, and it just feels sturdy

 If you don't have it fully packed. So, just something to note on that, because i have this top part pretty loaded, so the top zippered pocket here i'll just open that up and show you what i have inside a little key clip there. Hoodie set that to the side as well laptop stand here, set that to the side, and i just want to give you an idea, kind of of the interior organization, so really nothing going on in this main pocket here, but on each side, we've got these two Little mesh pockets similar to the top here so just want to show you what i have in one of these really big anchor battery bank. It can affect the ability - whatever you have in here, can affect the ability of this material to curve around nicely

It can affect the ability - whatever you have in here, can affect the ability of this material to curve around nicely. But this works fine in there. So just as a note, but if you put something you know longer and in there it's going to possibly affect that mesh

 You'Ve got a hoodie in there pouches and maybe like a packing, cube or something it's going to be hard to access this front pocket from the back it just is. I mean you can really kind of fillet and get it open, but it can be a bit hard to access, so that's definitely a gripe with this bag, but yeah large tablet pocket there and then laptop pocket here. It doesn't look like a 15 inch. Macbook pro would fit, but mine fit in here, just fine, it's a little tight
