Meet one of Light Hiking Gear’s most cherished hiking daypacks—the 44 Liter Aarn Mountain Magic Backpack. This lightweight daypack is stripped down for minimum weight and is ideal for hikers who want to stay naturally balanced and move with less effort and strain. Not only does it promote posture and comfort, but it also feels like you’re carrying almost nothing on the trail.

Key Features & Design

• 44 Liter capacity — generous space for day hikes with room to spare for essentials and light gear.
• Lightweight, minimal weight design — stripped down for minimum weight and helps you stay naturally balanced with less effort and strain.
• Removable Mountain Magic pockets — comes with complimentary Mountain Magic pockets which you can remove easily for lightness and quick changes in setup.
• Lightweight customization — for additional lightness, you can also remove the waterproof liners.
• Advanced frame and harness — features Auto-form Frame, Auto-form hipbelt, and X Flow Chest Straps with Conus Clips. The On-Adjust shoulder harness is made of breathable spacer mesh which auto-molds to the slope of your shoulders. U Flow bottom tensioners and top stabilizers allow free shoulder movement with load stability.
• Two-size harness — the harness comes in two sizes, S and L. Choose the harness size matching your back length. If the distance from the top of your hip bones to the midpoint of your shoulder (where the shoulder strap goes over the shoulder) is less than 15", then choose the "S" size; if 15" or greater, then choose the "L" size.
• Front balance pockets — The Mountain Magic front balance pockets attach nicely to this comfortable backpack for added storage. These pockets are a natural green color and attach to the hipbelt via clip tabs and to the sides and shoulder straps via a clip.
• Secure external storage — The four mesh exterior pockets and four compression straps are ideal for securely holding items without compromise.
• Versatile attachments — Bag also has attachments for an ice axe or trekking poles.

Designed for hikers who want posture support without the drama, the Mountain Magic delivers a balanced carry that feels almost weightless. Whether you’re chasing a fourteener or a scenic day hike, this pack keeps your back happy while you chase the moment.
