Cue up all the thoughtful features that come with the REI Co-op Flash 55 Pack which comes in both a men’s and women’s version. The pack can hold up to 55 liters of your hiking gear while still having a lightweight construction. The adjustable torso can help to get the best fit possible while the padded hip belt aims for comfort and convenience thanks to the zippered compartments. Side mesh pockets are ideal for storing your water bottle or rain shell and the included trekking pole attachments mean they can easily come along for the journey even when you’re on flat terrain while they’re not necessary.

In case the forecast for your hike doesn’t look completely dry, the pack’s durable water-repellent outer material will help with keeping rain on the surface rather than soaking into your bag.
