Greatest Pack When You Don’t Want One
This is a weird pack, it can’t really carry more than 12 pounds comfortably, never mind that the back sticks to your shirt and causes the most amount of back sweat you’ve ever had, and yet, it’s designed so tall with so many storage options. It has an ice pick holder but no shock cord on the side to secure trekking poles or a tripod or anything just long, as well as the bottle pockets are extremely wide and short, which I like, but it desperately needs a strap up top. The seem lines on the back are cut in a way that when you have the bag just sitting on the floor unzipped, the back folds down on itself making it annoying and ugly. Probably the worst part about this pack is it comes with a hip belt, when you can just save that weight and not include and put the features listed above along with real straps. Seriously, $200 backpack and it has worse shoulder straps than a Jansport backpack. However, all of this minimalism makes it so when you have to have a backpack, it makes it nice to use. Realistically, the most you can put is a light lunch, your work laptop, tech pouch, and a water bottle (but that will cause the pack to be lopsided). Overall for $200 I expected a lot more. But I still use it because for work it’s pretty nice and if I want to do some light photography it’s okay at that too, but sweet baby Jesus HMG put some back ventilation, it’s like I laid on my back in the pool and got up.
A versatile DAY BREAK that can withstand harsh handling.
I currently use the white DAY BREAK for everyday use and for day hikes and mountain climbing.
When used as a daypack, the foldable hipbelt that can be adjusted when carrying heavy items, and the large front pockets and side pockets, which are rarely seen in conventional daypacks, are very convenient.
On the other hand, for purposes such as hiking, there is no belt to secure the upper part of the side pocket when you put a long item such as a tripod, so unfortunately this part cannot be secured.
You can also put it in the large front pocket, but it will be a disappointing decision.
Considering the problem with the zipper that opens wide, I think it would be easier to use without a belt in this area, but it would be best if there was a fixing belt with a hook type or other measure.
I bought the white color instead of the black color because I wanted to suppress the rise in pack temperature in consideration of using it under the scorching sun in midsummer, but due to the characteristics of the material, it is easy to remove dirt and it is noticeable, which is a disadvantage. It's the feeling part.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with it, as it is extremely strong and withstands rough handling.

Good start on an ultralight camera backpack
Most dedicated camera backpacks are overly heavy for an easy day hike to photo locations. The Daybreak 17 can serve as one of the most (maybe the most) ultralight camera backpacks by inserting a narrow padded camera module from one of the dedicated camera backpack makers upright into the rectangular base of the Daybreak 17. A Shimoda Design smaller camera module fits quite snuggly in the rectangular bottom of the Daybreak 17 . A module this size can accommodate a DSRL with attached lens and one extra lens in the module. There is ample remaining space in the pack’s inside pouches for extra batteries, filters, etc. with the additional room above the camera gear inside or under the webbing outside for a jacket. The outside side pockets can accommodate a very lightweight tripod (secured a bit loosely with extra elastic band above the outside webbing on the right side) and a water bottle. The Daybreak 17 harness carries comfortably with this loading for light hiking. The pack should be reliably waterproof and the white model helps keep the equipment a bit cooler on sunny days. The flat bottom of the Daylight 17 allows the pack to be placed upright on the ground for easy access to the camera inside.
Hyperlight also makes dedicated and also very lightweight camera pods with single straps, and inserting a pod without strap into the Daybreak 17 would make for even better camera protection, but makes access to the camera a little more time consuming.
