SmarterTravel Pick of the Day: Tortuga Packable Daypack

A lightweight bag that packs into itself.

What Is It: A daypack that packs into itself, but doesn’t skimp on design or features.

Why It’s Smart:

• Packs into a rectangular shape to fit easily inside your luggage

• Uses a thin layer of three-dimensional mesh to pad the back section and wick away sweat

• Padded shoulder straps for comfort

• Ergonomically designed chest strap

• Several interior and exterior pockets keep everything organized (includes a laptop sleeve and hydration bladder compartment)

Where to Buy: Available on Tortuga’s website.
