Daypacks are light, compact and feature laptop compartments, great for those going back to school. When it comes to daypacks, features like padded hip belts, contoured shoulder straps can't be stressed enough. For your convenience, some daypacks are also designed with outside pockets to store and easily access to your digital devices like cameras, cell phones and iPods.  Fully opened, one sidewall (or panel) of the compartment falls away like a flap. Such a wide opening makes daypacks easy to load and rummage through when you're searching for something. This makes them particularly appealing for students, parents or day hikers.
