Test: Bach Daydream 40

The perfect companion for light travelling and excursions

Daydream 40 is the ideal companion for weekend hikes or backpacking trips. Thanks to the 2 in 1 compartment, for laptop or hydration bladder, Daydream will appeal to those people looking for versatility, providing a modular option for travelling, long weekends or trekking. The focus of the project is the Shield Pro suspension system, consisting of two well-padded side bands, which give the backrest rigidity and strength, hiding a metal core inside. The central part, detached from the back, maximizes the breathable capacity. An effective solution even on the hottest days. Thanks to the particularly structured lumbar belt, at full volume the backpack unloads the weight very well on the pelvis and hips. On a functional level, we find the following options for organizing spaces: the main compartment with loading from above (intelligently accessible also from the side), a separate compartment on the bottom, two pockets on the spacious hood and a small pocket on the abdominal belt. Noteworthy is the use of YKK #10 zippers with external rack that give a strong sense of solidity. In addition there are a large front mesh pocket, two side pockets and elastic bands for attaching poles or ice axes. The combination of different Cordura fabrics, extremely robust and resistant, make it a very good overall backpack. It is available in two backrest sizes: regular or long.
