How to Choose Daypacks
REI Co-op Flash 18 Pack
$39.95
A favorite of day hikers, our REI Co-op Flash 18 pack is lightweight yet big enough to hold the Ten Essentials you need for the trail. It's durable, water resistant and made with recycled fabric.
- Recycled ripstop nylon fabric features a nonfluorinated durable water repellent (DWR) finish to help moisture bead up on the surface

- Breathable mesh shoulder straps have fold-over padding that softens contact with your neck and shoulders
- Single-handed, quick-pull drawcord with small weather flap seals the top
- Zippered side pocket for easy access and added security
- Sunglass loop on left shoulder strap lets you hang your shades
- 2 interior slip pockets
- Exterior loops can be used to lash on extra gear, add compression or tie the Flash 18 to a larger pack
- For use in your larger backpack or duffel, this pack converts into a stuff sack simply by turning it inside out
