I was looking for a day pack that would be appropriate for a rim-to-rim hike of Grand Canyon. I think I found it.
What I especially like about the Dark Sky is that it hugs the back better than the other packs I tried. Then allowed the gear to settle as a clump at the bottom. The Dark Sky's design minimizes that problem, making for a more comfortable carry.

Amazing back pack! Love its simplicity, where the whole backpack can be utilized.

This is the perfect size for day hiking and traveling. Super simple and lightweight. I love the size for when I'm running errands as well. The shoulder pocket for a phone is a great add-on, I would recommend purchasing it. Overall a very well-made bag! I am very happy with my purchase.

The sewing is not square..

I love this daypack! I got it with one shoulder strap pocket and it’s perfect! I took it out a pretty frigid morning, and had all my cold weather gear stored in it- hat, gloves, fleece buff, puffy (FF Eos)- in addition to my normal day hike gear, snacks and water. It all fit perfectly with plenty of room to spare. And it was so so comfy. If there was anything small I’d like to see added, it would be some loops on the outside of the pack to clip some carabiners:) I like to hang stuff outside my pack, I had to get creative with this one. It’s not a deal breaker though, just personal preference! The pack is amazing, beautifully made and I am so excited to have it!

A very nice bag for the price. Super lightweight, great water defying zipper design. I ended up returning the Dark Sky mainly because I thought the padding on the straps could be thicker, even though it is only an 18L. However, it is generally tough to find thicker padding on any bag straps, let alone smaller bag sizes. I am keeping my eye on Waymark for future bag designs. : )

Excellent bag -- big enough for daily use (on or off trail), but not overwhelmingly big. Perfect size for smaller torsos. Well-made & sleek; I love the all-black/grey exterior and colored interior -- can be used as a work bag as well as a daypack. Only ways it could improve: it'd be nice if there were an option to add a laptop sleeve, and the top of the shoulder straps are a little stiff. Overall, though, very happy.

The backpack itself is great. I like the materials, quality, functionality of the backpack. The only thing - it is smaller, than I expected, it looks quite tiny.

This is a great little pack for daily adventures. For it's maiden voyage we used it while adventuring though theme parks and it was great for holding water and other small essentials. It will make a great little day pack for getting out on the trail. It really does well for what it is designed for. I would recommend this pack.

I ordered this pack not only for myself for a day hike or daily carry when needed but also something that my grandson could use when on a walk with Grandpa. The quality is outstanding with features that show a high level of detail in design. The shoulder straps are comfortable and mimick those of my Mile. The zipper opens up enough so that you can fold down the front and gain full entry into the pack. I always enjoy a clip for my keys inside of a small puch where I can also put in my wallet, a headlamp, or first aid kit. The water bottle pouchs are deep enough to hold a liter bottle with ease and the stretch pouch easily holds my poop kit, ditty bag, and a rain or wind jacket with ease. This is a pack that should last year and years of daily use and stands up to the high standard Waymark sets for their packs and products. But best of all is that my Grandson has a pack that looks like Grandpa's, with the same buckles and Waymark logo on the back.

Bought this pack because the look and simpleness of it, use it for everything hiking/ mountain biking/ just going down by the river, everything.
Comfort is great, straps are comfortable and it sits good, full or empty haven't had more then 20 lbs in it.
Had it in light steady rain so far and seems good to go.

I live this little pack for day hikes

Easily my favorite small pack for day hikes, trips around the city, and travelling. The sewn in foam back panel gives the pack some form and stability, and helps keep it upright when loading. Zippers are robust, the material is solid, and the features included are essential.

This bag is so good! If you’re on the fence, just go for it! I’m always on the hunt for the perfect day hiking bag that can do double duty for work commutes. I’ve been using the Deuter Speedlite 20 for years until it finally crapped out. This bag has a similar size and pocket/compartment set up as the Deuter but really goes way beyond that bag. It’s light but sturdy. The shoulder straps are beefy which I love. I really hate bags with super flimsy, thin shoulder straps. The material on the side and front pockets is stretchy but seems very strong. I LOVE the open front pocket. It’s perfect for maps, an extra mask, anything you need at the ready, but it can stretch out to accommodate oddly shaped items too. The open front pocket is a feature that’s a must for me on a bag and one that’s seems to be less and less common.
The shape of the bag is great and I never feel like my things are all sinking to the bottom and causing a pear shaped profile. One thing I hated about the Deuter (and many other bags I’ve tried) is that on days when I’m only carrying a few books and notebooks, they feel like they’re gonna fall through a flimsy bottom, or if the bag isn’t otherwise full, they flop backwards and make for an awkward carry. This bag always keeps its profile and because of that all my stuff stays secure and doesn’t flop around.
All in all, great bag, great company. Perfect for hikes, perfect for city stuff. Do yourself a favor and get one.

Great pack and shipped two weeks ahead of schedule

Great daypack, durable. Made with love. I have thoroughly enjoyed this pack. Finally a ultralight company that makes a perfect day pack. I have dreamed of this pack. I personally wish the inside zipper pocket was a little deeper. AND there’s nothing to complain about with this pack. The shoulder straps are perfect, the chest strap is amazing and I’m glad I added this piece of gear to my shed.
