The Impact daypack from High Sierra is perfect for just walking around.
My husband and I recently went to the Peace River Arts Festival. It’s held in Laishley Park downtown, where dogs are welcome, so we brought both of our dogs. I realized I really needed a small daypack-style backpack that I can use instead of a purse to haul along all the things that women always need to haul.
I wanted something smallish and lightweight; I wasn’t looking for something to go hiking with in the mountains, just something to substitute for my purse when a purse isn’t convenient. I have a fanny pack, but it’s not big enough to hold all my usual stuff plus doggy supplies such as a portable water bowl, bottled water, clean-up bags, etc.
I looked at both the Jansport Right Pack and the High Sierra Impact. Both are reasonably priced, and it was a toss-up which one would work better for me. I ended up choosing the High Sierra Impact daypack for several reasons:
- It has a front zipper section with organizer pockets for pens and other small items
- It has a side mesh pocket for water bottles
- It has a pocket on one of the shoulder straps for a cell phone
- It has padded shoulder straps and a padded back panel, so that things inside won’t poke me uncomfortably in the back
- The shoulder straps are contoured, not straight-cut, so it feels more comfortable on my shoulders
I probably would have been happy with the Jansport Right Pack, but I do like the little extras that the High Sierra Impact has, and the Impact was actually less expensive. For a small, lightweight, inexpensive daypack, the Impact will serve me well.
You can get the High Sierra Impact backpack/daypack from eBay and Amazon.
Update: I’ve taken to using this instead of my purse almost all the time. A backpack is much easier on my shoulders and neck; no more sore neck on one side from the weight of a purse, even when it gets pretty full and heavy. It easily holds a lot more than a purse. When we go to fairs & festivals where I might make several purchases, I just stuff them into the pack.
After nearly 2 years, the backpack is holding up extremely well under frequent use. I’ve purchased a heavier-duty pack for traveling, but this daypack is my standard everyday pack, and my purse is relegated to the back of my closet.
