Sizing / Configuration

The Loris 25 is offered as a one-size pack. The SitLight pad can be removed when you want to reduce weight or prefer a different approach to back padding.

Why We Like It

The Loris 25 is one of the more versatile packs in the lineup because it doesn’t force you to choose between a hiking pack and an everyday bag. The combination of 25-liter capacity, accessible external storage, comfortable padding, and a laptop/tablet sleeve makes it equally useful for a day on the trail or a day around town.

The Tradeoff

At 19.5 ounces, the Loris 25 is noticeably heavier than a minimalist daypack such as the Vetta 20, so you’re paying for additional organization, padding, and versatility. It’s also more structured and feature-rich than someone needs for a simple fast-and-light day hike; if your only goal is carrying water, layers, and lunch as lightly as possible, a simpler pack makes more sense.

Rikkar Take

The Loris 25 is the better choice when you want one lightweight pack that can move comfortably between hiking, travel, and everyday use. It offers enough capacity for a substantial day-hiking load while keeping the weight low, and its organization makes it considerably more practical off the trail than a purpose-built ultralight fastpack.
