Our verdict
Reasons to buy
- Truly lightweight as it weighs less than a pound.
- The back padding is removable and can double as a waterproof seat cover.
- Truly comfortable to wear.
- Great workmanship and sturdy materials such as Cordura™ are used in creating this bag.
Things to consider
- Could really use some external pockets.
- Has no laptop compartment but the hydration bladder can double as that although it has no padding.
What reviewers said
- "I bought this to use as a lightweight day pack. It is comfortable to wear, with a waist and chest strap to keep the pack sitting in place nicely. Has a padded insert for back comfort, which is removable and doubles as a waterproof seating mat. Has an internal zipped pocket and an outside water bottle pocket. I bought this on sale so was an absolute bargain!!"
- "This day pack is very comfortable to wear and is very roomy. It fits my water bladder, first aid kit, rain jacket, and food with room for more. Side pocket also deep and well sized to fit an extra 1L water bottle."
- "I bought 2 more after the first one because I can carry like 2-3 kgs but it feels way lighter on my back! Rarely do backpacks have this kind of feature (for me) because I need a rather small one that fits everything like my Macbook, water bottle, lunch boxes, and other stuff for studying at uni (and other activities) and this type is the perfect fit for me because I have a petite figure and shoulder pain. Love it so much, I hope Kathmandu continues manufacturing these so that I can keep buying this type!"

Kathmandu Dash 20L Backpack Review: Best backpack for travel to Townsville

Overall this backpack is perfect for sightseeing around Townsville as it will hold your personal items, adequate water (absolutely essential up here), snacks, basic camera gear and even your togs and towel if you plan on going for a swim....As I mentioned above I’ve been using this backpack for the last year now and cannot fault it personally. It has served me well on all my adventures around Townsville and surrounds and will continue to serve me well for many years into the future.
