High Sierra Loop Daypack Cornflower Blue - Versatile Everyday Pack

Our review of the High Sierra Loop Daypack finds it to be a versatile, no-frills pack for students, commuters and hikers who need organized storage without extra bulk. The single biggest reason to consider this bag is its multi-compartment layout with a dedicated tablet sleeve and useful organizer pockets, which keep daily tech and smaller items accessible while the Suspension System and padded straps make heavier loads comfortable. In short, the Loop is a practical choice when you want roomy, organized carry in a modest, dependable package.

Key Features

• Main compartment: The roomy 19 x 13.5 x 8.5 in main compartment carries textbooks, layers or a lunch while keeping bulk contained.
• Tablet sleeve: A dedicated tablet sleeve protects a device and makes it easy to reach without digging through the entire pack.
• Internal organization: Secondary pockets and a multi-pocket organizer with key fob keep chargers, pens and small essentials sorted.
• Suspension System: The suspension system dampens shock transfer and relieves shoulder strain when carrying heavier loads for longer periods.
• Compression straps: Side compression straps and adjustable bottom webbing secure irregular loads or attach extra gear like a sleeping bag.
• Accessory pockets: Two external accessory pockets provide fast access to a phone, snacks or small tools.

Who It's For

The Loop Daypack suits students, daily commuters and casual hikers who need a single, organized pack for books, a tablet and personal items. Its tablet sleeve and multi-pocket organizer make it especially good for those who carry small electronics and accessories and want them separated from clothing and larger gear.

Those who need a technical mountaineering pack, large-capacity travel pack or extensive weatherproofing should look elsewhere; the Loop is designed for everyday carry and light trail use rather than technical backpacking or heavy expedition loads.

Yes. Adjustable bottom webbing straps and side compression straps let you secure additional items such as a sleeping bag or rolled jacket.
