CamelBak Rim Runner X30
Hydration is built into the Rim Runner X30, CamelBak's step down from the Fourteener: 30 L of gear space plus a 2 L Crux reservoir in its own compartment, for $148 and 2.0 lb including the bladder. It gets the same Air Support ventilated back as the Fourteener and a ventilated hipbelt with cargo pockets. The 22 L size costs $116 and swaps that hipbelt for a removable webbing stability belt with a 1.5 L reservoir.

Features
Pros
- ✓A 2 L Crux reservoir is in the box, where most 30 L daypacks make you buy the bladder separately.
- ✓2.0 lb includes that reservoir, so the pack itself is light for 30 L.
- ✓Air Support body-mapped back panel and a ventilated hipbelt, the same cooling approach as the pricier Fourteener.
- ✓The reservoir lives in a separate compartment, so a leak does not soak the main bag.
- ✓Dual cargo compression keeps a half-empty 30 L from swinging.
- ✓CamelBak's Got Your Bak guarantee is for life.
Cons
- ✗No maximum load is stated.
- ✗The 22 L size loses the pocketed hipbelt for a plain webbing stability belt, so the two sizes are not simply big and small.
- ✗No rain cover is sold with it.
- ✗One size only; a women's X20 with an S-curve harness is the alternative fit.
- ✗The 30 L figure is gear capacity; a full 2 L reservoir adds about 4.4 lb of water before any gear goes in.

CamelBak Fourteener 26
The Fourteener 26 is CamelBak's flagship hiking pack, built around its 3-liter Crux reservoir (included) and an Air Support ventilated back. It's the hydration-first choice — buy it because you drink from a hose, not a bottle.

Deuter
Deuter Futura 23
The Futura is Deuter's ventilated day pack and the smallest application of the Aircomfort suspended mesh used on the Futura Air Trek. The mesh is tensioned over a spring steel frame so the pack bows away from the back, which is why a 23 L day pack weighs 1,180 g -- heavy for the volume, and the direct cost of the airflow.

Deuter Futura 21 SL
The women's-fit Futura, with a 38-48 cm back length against the standard 44-54 cm and shoulder straps shaped for a narrower chest. Same suspended Aircomfort mesh and included rain cover as the standard Futura, in a 21 L, 25 L and 30 L size run.

Deuter Trail 28 SL
Women get the Trail 30 in a shorter cut as the Trail 28 SL: the same Delrin U-frame, Airstripes back, flat helmet-carry lid and included rain cover, cut for a 38-48 cm back and a 158-178 cm body. It saves 50 g and 2 L against the unisex pack at the same $155. The SL run also includes a 16 L and a 22 L.

Deuter Trail 30
Largest of the unisex sizes in Deuter's mid-range hiking daypack family, the Trail 30 sits between the frameless Telatie and the spring-steel Trail Pro. A flexible Delrin U-frame stiffens the Airstripes back, the lid is flat so a helmet can be strapped on top, and a removable rain cover is included. The line runs from 18 to 32 L, with the 32 EL built on a longer 48-58 cm back for tall hikers.
