Your Go-To Hiking Backpack for Full Day Adventures
For full days in the wild or fast, light missions that flirt with the edge of overnights.
The Lucid 25 is your no-fuss pack for full-day hikes, fast-packing missions, and variable-weather adventures where “underprepared” isn’t an option. With 25 liters of thoughtfully organized space, it balances comfort, capability, and low-bulk carry for those who like to move quickly but bring enough to stay out longer.
Details Matter
Inspired by mountain running vests but built tougher, the Lucid 25 features a body-hugging harness that moves with you—not against you. The ergonomic hybrid shoulder straps and waist belt reduce bounce and distribute weight evenly whether you’re power-hiking steep grades or scrambling through talus. It fits snug, breathes well, and doesn’t flop around like a traditional pack.
The Layout Is Dialed
- A big stretch front pocket swallows layers or a helmet.
- Zippered pockets on the shoulder straps and waist belt keep your phone, snacks, and small essentials right where you need them.
- Two expandable side pockets handle water bottles or overflow gear.
- And yes—hydration bladder compatible, obviously.
Built To Last
Built from tough 210D nylon ripstop with a reinforced 420D floor, it’s rugged enough for bushwhacks and rocky trails without feeling overbuilt. Four-season ready and light on extras you don’t need, the Lucid 25 is that pack you forget about until you realize how much it’s doing for you.
Very comfortable and lightweight. And so many well-thought-out pockets!
Used once for a long day hike with about 15lb weight, it carried the weight well and felt comfortable all day. A few suggestions are: larger hip belt pockets without bottom compression straps, stiffer back panel for better weight transfer on the hip belt, roomier side mesh pockets for larger items. Over all pretty happy with the pack!
It’s amazing. Light and durable, looks good and is comfortable and practical. It’s a cool lil schoolbackpackthat you can take hiking right after classes
The Pingora Lucid 25L Hiking Backpack has it all! Plenty of storage solutions with quick accessibility to numerous compartments. Great materials and thoughtful design.
My first interaction with this company has been utterly positive. Such great customer service on the chat-- answering all of my questions with such great detail and so responsive. I'll be keeping an eye on this company for more great products!
I have purchased multiple Pingora packs, and I love every one of them. I purchased this Lucid 25 for the Camino de Santiago study abroad program I lead every year. I also purchased 16 of the Lucid 25 for my group of students who hiked about 150 miles of the Camino with me in May-June of this year. All of my students were amazed at how much they could fit in a 25 liter pack, the variety of storage options in it on the belt, shoulder straps, body, etc. Many of my students told me it was the best built pack they had ever used and plan on purchasing one for their private use in the future.
i got a 20 and a 25. i was really hoping the 25 would wor out for me but it just doesnt carry any weight well. for lightweight items it seems ok,even with the hip belt support any weight in it and it just pulls down. i think the section between the shoulder straps needs to be redesigned. it has that ridge of material and it pulls down and rubs at the base of your neck. the reset of the pack is great! love the style,material,colors and design. except that one spot. my wife doesnt even like it...
