Small Daypack suggestions?

[Corso]

Does anyone have a suggestion on a new daypack? I'd be keen on the following features

15-20lt max - could live with less rather than more
subdued colour that doesn't scream military - Grey, Coyote brown, black, or a mix of would be fine just no camo
no or limited Molle - for the same reason as above
an admin pocket -
hydration compatible
side slip pockets for a Nalgene or even better a GI canteen
top opening to the main compartment - none of those side opening fancy packs - tried them didn't get on with them
not too deep - think the width of a GI canteen + a little - I'm looking for low profile rather than a box with straps

anything out their spring to mind? I've a reasonable wedge to spend but nothing crazy

How about camelbak stuff. I'm out of touch with their range but something like the h.a.w.g springs to mind
If the quality is still the same then you wont go wrong. My peak bagger is my most used bag and its at least 15 years old

The peak bagger is 30ltr or so but an awsome bag if they still do it

I'd agree a HAWG would do, pretty bombproof and they've eased up on their use of Molle for the newer packs.

HAWG seems pretty bulky though how deep are they?

I very nearly suggested our mountainsmith day pack. I'm really getting on with my bergans lumbar pack

You can order completely without or with limited Molle.

Top quality materials and production!

I'm using 20 and 30 from a few years. The best backacks ever!

tried one didn't get on with it - I was too short in the back for the suspension system - drove me nuts hitting my **** as I walked - I also hate the front zip access and the amount of internal space lost once you put the canteens into the slip pouches

If the viper lost the molle on the back and had better straps that could be a goer

maybe a modular day pack is the way to go...

so there seems to be a couple - did you get the one with the molle attachments or did you get the 24hr pack

this one seems to have proper straps

can't find a proper pic of them though?

 

[Man of Tanith]

I got the other one mate
It has molle attachments. ive literally only got it today and had a very brief dekko at it but initial impressions are good

 

[Allans865]

It's a pity that molle isn't one of your requirements because the 5.11 rush 12 is a fantastic pack, and ticks all of your other boxes.
If you could live with the molle I'd thoroughly recommend!

Cheers,
Allan

I keep going on about them, but I have no collection to the company. Aiguille Alpine in the Lake Distributed make absolutely bomproof sacks of all size and in a number of designs. They're not the cheapest, but the build quality is far, far better than you get anywhere else. There are a number of colours you can choose from as well as different back lengths and they'll incorporate any extra's you may want. I've had one of their Haute Route 45l sacks for about six or several years now and used it for climbers and skiing in the alps and Scotland, not even start good to ship any sign of wear yet. I've recently brought a 35l bag from them which I'm again very happy with. Well worth a look at one of their Midi bags for a small single daysack.

I thought Kelty did something smaller than the Peregrine 29 (29L sometimes called 1800 for cubic inches)... but seems not.

Tasmanian Tiger have couple of newish 22L packs.

It is a nice pack but doesn't meet any of the specs I listed
