The Lucid 20 pack works well for day hikes and travel. For longer flights there is room for an extra jacket, water bottle, electronics and sundry flight comfort items. The front pockets hold phone and tickets to accelerate getting through security quickly. Once we are at our destination this pack is so nice for hiking and sightseeing. The back zip allows my hiking partner ready access for on the trail items, the hydration system is easy to use and the front phone and snack pockets are great for that important photo or a quick snack without stopping. The pack is large enough for a day hike to carry extra layers and lunch. Get this pack!

I love this well designed day pack. I can easily fit 2 L of water, sunscreen, first aid kit, a layer, satellite messenger device, and iPhone with plenty of room to spare. The fit is great and with all of this gear still very comfortable. I really appreciate the fantastic organization options such as the trekking pole loops, shoulder harness pockets, side pockets, and front compartments. Oh, and the red (almost orange) color is fantastic. This is definitely my go to backpack for long day hikes.

I bought my Lucid 20 through the Timpanogos Hiking Co collab. I bought it right before a camping trip to the Pacific NW. It was comfortable to carry. I contacted Pingora with a question about adjusting the chest strap. They were quick to respond and very helpful. I’m used to carrying a larger daypack so it took some practice to figure out how best to load what I wanted in the pack - might need to check out the 25L or just reduce how much I carry - but it worked fantastic for a lightweight daypack. The only feedback I have for the design team was that the clasp for the water bladder loop got in the way when I hooked my camelbak bladder on the loop - might just be something that I am doing wrong. I look forward to many more hikes with this pack.

i love the material and design of the 20,the 25 is similar. my only issue is this does not carry weight well. great for lightweight items. but i find the part that in between where the straps mount at the top rides or rubs weird. any weight in this and it pulls down and pushes on you,very uncomfortable.

I am a backpack geek and fanatic. I have many of different sizes. But I was looking for a relatively small backpack that could be used universally as a personal item for planes, around town and short day hikes when we travel. I also wanted multi-pockets, removable him belt and reasonable shoulder support. I found Pingora simply by chance jumping from one website to another. Between more famous brands, like Gregory or Osprey, Pangora Licud 20 liter stood up as a very interesting proposal at reasonable price (I received 15% off for being first time customer). Since I purchased it, I used it quite few times. The most likable feature for me are those zip pockets on the shoulder straps. My iPhone 13 fits perfectly in zip and open pocket and allows very quick and convenient access. The zippers are good, the number of additional straps is great, and the fabric and construction is very good. I like the closed vertical zip front and side pockets for jacket and spare items. Somebody at Pingora has a lot of ingenuity to incorporate them. The only think I do not like is the tightness of the side water bottle pocket; you really need to use a tall and skinny bottle with it. I would also suggest Pingora to make a zippered inside pocket instead of Velcro one and adda clip for keys. And if they incorporate a fitted rain cover, it will be a great value. But all in all, it's a great pack.

I purchased this pack in the ocean color and just love the pack's versatility. It is great for hikes and travel. The outside zipper makes reaching in for small items very convenient. The top pocket is great for sunglasses, key and other sundries. Then we use the inside area for jackets and snacks. The hydration sleeve is so easy to use.

I bought the Lucid 20 to use on a recent trip to Kauai. I used the pack as a carry on for the flight. I also hiked the Napali coast trail with the pack along with several other Kauai trails. I have decades of experience trail running and hiking on all sorts of trails using a lot of different hiking backpacks. I can say without hesitation that this is one of the most well designed hiking backpacks I have ever used. Pretty much any feature you would need or want in a hiking backpack is included. The pockets and sleeves are convenient and easily accessible and can hold all the gear, snacks, and water you would need for an all day hike. Well done Pingora.

Really well-thought-out daypack that organizes essentials for fast-moving missions. Been using it throughout Vietnam, seamlessly transitioning between rainforest treks and urban escapades: the water reservoir slot is large enough for a 14" Surface / MacBook; the hydration and snack sleeves keep essentials close in both environments. Love using the Lucid!
