The Best Ultralight Backpack

This lightweight backpack will come in handy should you encounter the unexpected rain or snow conditions thanks to its water-resistant backpack properties, keeping your goods nice and dry. The Matador's Freerain24 2.0 does this and more.

It's the lightest waterproof backpack on the market, weighing only 6 ounces and folding down from a 24-liter daypack to an absurdly small package that fits in the palm of your hand. The ultra-light design, weight-distributing shoulder straps, removable storage bag, and waterproof roll-top main compartment make this a smart addition to your travel gear.
