Another Amazing Product from HMG
After having such tremendous success with my 3400 Southwest pack, the Daybreak Pack is the third major HMG product I elected to put into my ultralight backcountry exploration quiver and I could not be happier with the decision. No other daypack shares the total package: comfort, durability AND ultralight.

Favorite Pack Evah
Carries beautifully. I've loaded it with three liters of water, stove and pot, lunch, snacks, and a couple of layers, and it doesn't even feel like wearing a pack. Extremely comfortable! Worth every penny, awesome.

Great Day Pack
I’ve used the pack now on several treks. I can easily say it’s the best pack and lightest I’ve ever had. I am very impressed at the smart design and quality.

Nothing is perfect

Nothing is perfect in life but for me, this pack is as close as it gets. It carries well w/o the hip belt, is roomy enough as a day pack to carry all my stuff, can be used as a carry on, can easily accommodate 4 smart water bottles in the side pockets, and is waterproof. I have no complaints. It does get a little warm on your back but nothing is perfect. Used it as a day pack recently in Canada and it exceeded my expectations. I have it in black and it pairs well with the Versa. Intend to use it on future camino’s.

great product

I love it, I'm willing to pay more for a product that I'll use for a long time. I especially like that the accessories are interchangeable between packs.
