Know before you buy
Yes, the 24L capacity is well-suited for daily essentials. While it lacks a dedicated padded laptop sleeve, the internal space is sufficient for a slim laptop or tablet case, and the water-resistant ripstop fabric provides good protection for your electronics during a commute.
The drawstring closure allows for quick top-loading access and easy expansion if you are slightly over-packing. It is designed for convenience, though you should ensure the top is cinched tightly to keep contents secure during movement.
The Alto 24 is excellent for day hikes and light trail use. It features an internal frame for stability, a chest strap for a secure fit, and an integrated trekking pole carrier, making it a capable companion for standard hiking trails.
The detachable mesh pocket is designed for quick-access items you might need on the go, such as a rain shell, snacks, or damp gear. Being detachable, it offers flexibility to streamline the pack's profile when you don't need the extra storage.
The Alto 24 is built with a fixed back length of 43.5 cm (Size S). We recommend measuring your torso length from the base of your neck to your iliac crest to ensure this size aligns with your frame for optimal comfort.
