This pack is like the diet that promises all the ice cream you want—lose weight with no compromises!—except the Ki works. At slightly more than two pounds, it’s as light as legit packs get, yet the padded hipbelt and rigid polyethylene frame, combined with excellent compression and stability, let you carry 30 pounds all day. The main compartment easily holds enough for a fair-weather week. 3,600 cu in, 2.3 lbs; www.granitegear.com

Bonus: Tough fabric makes the Ki durable for its weight.

Bummer: Top access only and no lid make for an organizer’s nightmare (add a lid for $22).

Don’t let your daypack turn into a black hole. The compact Ray allows easy organization, thanks to dividers in the main compartment, deep exterior side pockets, and a separate pocket for your hydration system. It’s also light and secure enough for running. I ran the rigorous three-mile Jud Wiebe Trail, above Telluride, and the hipbelt and yoke-style shoulder harness kept the load in check. 1,200 cu in, 1.9 lbs; www.thenorthface.com

Bonus: It comes with a rain fly.

Bummer: Reservoir not included.

How do you make the Pacific Crest Trail feel like the Pacific Coast Highway? Let this pack smooth out and speed up the miles. I literally ran the San Juan Mountains’ nine-mile Hope Lake Trail with the Arreba stuffed full. Credit the pre-curved harness, narrow back panel, and Wraptor Stabilizer System, which draws the load to your back. We also liked the quickdraw compression system and offset hipbelt buckle (for one-handed adjustments). Cargo capacity is perfect for fast-and-light overnights. 2,400 cu in, 2.3 lbs; www.gregorypacks.com

Bonus: Silicone-injected nylon shaves ounces.

Bummer: Don’t scrape that thin nylon on rocks.

Can’t bear to leave anything behind, even on a weekend trip? This sleek pack has the biggest capacity of the bunch, with a suspension that can handle 40-plus pounds and a height that didn’t cause instability when I hiked Colorado’s steep Liberty Bell Trail. The pack is on the heavy side but includes a rain cover and plentiful lashing options. 3,960 cu in, 5.2 lbs; www.libertymtn.com

Bonus: The adjust-on-the-go Tergolight harness lets you micromanage fit on the fly.

Bummer: The mesh side pockets are too small.

This standout in Deuter’s new women’s line is the pack equivalent of 1,000-thread-count sheets. Like other models here, it has female-specific features—curved shoulder straps, a shorter torso, and a contoured hipbelt. And it hugged our bodies with just-right padding. Plus you can fine-tune fit with the ladderlike Vari-Quick harness. Packing for a weekend is easy with spacious main and bottom compartments. 3,350 cu in, 3.6 lbs; www.deuterusa.com

Bonus: An arched suspension with mesh panels air-cools your back.

Bummer: Unlike with most Deuter models, there’s no rain cover included.

Hydration packs don’t come with more features than this. On a day hike in Utah’s Owl Canyon, the Isis’s leakproof three-liter reservoir toted plenty of water, the main compartment stowed lunch and more, and the large exterior pocket and cinch cord held extra layers. Even fully loaded, the pack carries comfortably, thanks to a ventilated back panel and a hipbelt that never rides up. 1,245 cu in, 2.3 lbs; www.camelbak.com

Bonus: There’s even a pocket for your MP3 player.

Bummer: Odd-size items can fall out of the side pockets.
