About this product
The REI Co-op Tarn 18 Daypack is an 18-liter backpack designed for unisex kids and youth, suitable for hiking. Made from blue nylon, it features zip and buckle closures, along with five pockets including external and internal options. This lightweight daypack includes an adjustable size, padded straps, and a ventilated back panel for comfort. Its nylon frame and construction emphasize durability for active use.
Our take
For younger hikers or those needing a small, functional daypack, the REI Co-op Tarn 18 is a thoughtful option. The 18-liter capacity is perfect for shorter excursions, and the lightweight nylon construction means it won't add unnecessary bulk. I appreciate the features like adjustable size, padded straps, and a ventilated back panel, all crucial for comfort, especially for kids. With five pockets, it offers decent organization for essentials. While it's great for day hikes, the smaller capacity and kids-oriented design mean it won't suffice for extensive trips, and its 'one size' suggests less precise fitting than adult packs.
