Hi all.

I’m planning a 1 day, 26 mile hike in early June and need a new daypack/backpack in the 22l – 26l range.

I’m new to decent backpacks, I’ve always just used any old cheap ones I had lying around but as my daily distances have increased I would very much like to get a good one.

Two things it must have are a ventilated back system and an included rain cover.

I’ve been to a local store and they recommended me the only three ventilated packs they had in stock but refused to offer thoughts on the one I suggested as they didn’t have it in stock.

The ones recommended were the Rab Airox 25, Osprey Hikelite 26 and the Lowe Alpine AirZone Active 26 and the one I asked about was the Gregory Citro 24.

I’m in the UK so most places recommended on Youtube like REI don’t exist here.

Can anyone share any thoughts on any of the four I’ve mentioned or perhaps suggest others I haven’t heard about yet?

Thank you.
