DESCRIPTION:

The Stitchback Day Hiker 2 or "DH2" is the larger sibling of our popular DH daypack. It begins with a similar design but adds side water bottle pockets and a front shove-it pocket for increased capacity and functionality. With a capacity of approximately 20 liters, the DH2 is a great all-around mid sized daypack.

The pack as shown in the photos weighs 16 oz including the optional foam frame sheet. The final weight of the pack depends largely on the types of fabrics used, so this weight is given as a reference only.

- Large zippered main pocket

- Front zippered slash pocket

- Side water bottle pockets fit 1 liter nalgene

- Front shove-it pocket

- Removable trekking pole loops and retainers

- Internal sleeve for foam frame sheet which doubles as hydration pocket
