Why We Love This Deal
The best hiking packs aren't limited to just using on trails—many are versatile enough for travel, concerts, gym sessions, and as a personal item on flights. The main issue is normally price. Quality packs from trusted brands hardly ever dip below $50, let alone $75. But over at REI, you can score the top-rated Gregory Nano 16 Pack on sale for a price that's far more wallet-friendly.
We were shocked to see REI selling the Gregory Nano 16 Pack for only $48. This is a solid piece of gear for everyday carry, local trails, and travel days, and one that many are glad to pay full price for. The proof is in the pudding, and that's why reviewers have given it nearly 100 five-star ratings, raving about its performance and space. It's on sale in three shades of blue, all on sale at this price.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Type: Daypack
- Colors: 3
- Capacity: 16 liters
- Weight: 15.7 ounces
- Dimensions: 18-by-9-by-7 inches
- Best Use: Hiking, travel days, personal carry-on item
This daypack is frameless and has ample carrying capacity with its 16-liter design while only weighing 15.7 ounces. It's crafted from 210D and 420D nylon while being treated with a PFA-free DWR finish that makes it rain-ready. The air-mesh harnesses are breathable, while the removable webbed hip belt is a nice touch, and its die-cut back panel is quite comfy. It does work with hydration systems thanks to its internal sleeve and port. You also get dual mesh side pockets, reflective detailing, a quick-pull drawcord main closure, and a top-zip pocket with a key clip.
This is definitely a compact daypack with its 18-by-9-by-7-inch design, but it is not lacking in space by any means. It can easily transform into a hydration pack with a 2-liter bladder, while still holding a ton of other gear, including snacks, spare clothes, or packable puffer jackets, a rain shell, and more. The side mesh pockets hold up to 24-ounce water bottles, and there is still room to stash a small first-aid kit or a handy headlamp in there for hiking excursions.

What Hikers Are Saying
Hikers cannot help but praise how well this thing performs. One said it “packs a punch” for its size, stating that when lightly packed, “it sits comfortably on my back and the chest straps work as expected.” They also said it’s “perfect for my daily needs—the gym, errands, and long hikes by the beach."
“Fantastic day-hike pack for serious adventures,” said another, who added that it’s “rugged, breathable but repellent, and perfect size for what I needed to carry on the hike.”
With a price this low on a Gregory daypack like this, it’s likely to sell through pretty fast, so if you want to score one for yourself, you really don’t want to wait around—grab yours today.
