An all-around 25-liter daypack – built to handle everything from the urban commute to a weekend trail hike.

• The 25-liter Spruce backpack is an all-around winner that you can use commuting to work, hiking in the forest, or even as a kids’ school backpack. We used a sturdy 450D polyester ripstop fabric that’s capable of taking a beating, but also looks sharp enough for the office. The Spruce features an easy-access front pocket for your essentials and a mesh side pocket for your water bottle. The pack is top loading. The interior has an unpadded laptop sleeve.
