At $54, this REI Co-op Ruckpack 30L Pack is half off its $109 regular price. The included rain cover, which tucks into a side pocket, is a standout feature that makes it one of the more weather-resistant travel backpacks available, compared to bags that only rely on water-repellent fabric finishes. It carries weight more like a hiking daypack than a typical travel bag, thanks to a padded back panel and hipbelt that give it real structure. Its 30-liter capacity also meets carry-on size limits for most airlines, making it a dual-purpose option for both trail and travel use. Shipping is free for members, or non-members can get free shipping over $60. Buy Now at REI
