Wanaka Pocket - The Ultralight Daypack That Follows Your Rhythm
Say hello to the Wanaka Pocket - a compact, tricolor take on Mero Mero’s most iconic ultralight daypack. It keeps the spirit of the original, but adds something people kept asking for: a hidden exterior pocket you can actually use on the go. Bottle, snack, mini umbrella, dog treats - just drop it in and keep moving.
Everything else stays true to the Wanaka DNA: clean roll-top design, smart dual access, feather-light carry, and the kind of everyday durability you stop noticing because it simply works. It’s the kind of small bag that somehow keeps up with everything you throw at it.
Who is it for?
Cyclists weaving through morning traffic, dodging buses and red lights. Minimalist hikers who want a light daypack that doesn’t bounce around. Remote workers who spend their day between cafés and coworking spaces. Parents who need a compact but capable backpack that slips under a stroller handle. If you’ve ever thought, “Can a small backpack keep up with my pace and hold what I actually need?” - this one usually surprises people.
Why It Stands Out
- ✔️ New hidden exterior pocket: discreet and surprisingly roomy - perfect for quick-grab items.
- ✔️ Adjustable 10-15L volume: roll it tight for commuting or open it up for hikes and long days out.
- ✔️ Dual access: a clever side zip gives you fast entry to the main compartment and the laptop sleeve.
- ✔️ Laptop-friendly: padded compartment fits up to 15”, with easy side access for 13”.
- ✔️ All-day comfort: breathable 3D mesh, ergonomic straps, and a removable sternum strap for active movement.
- ✔️ Ultralight build (<500g): ideal for travel, everyday commuting, or tossing inside a larger backpack when you want a lightweight extra bag.
- ✔️ Weather-ready: Bluesign® nylon + PU coating + PFC-free DWR - made for city rain and trail mist.
- ✔️ Built to last: YKK zippers, aluminum hardware, eco-certified leather accents, reinforced base.
- ✔️ Family-friendly: works with optional Lark clips for stroller attachment.
Why You’ll Actually Love Using It
- Ultralight and compact - it feels more like a piece of clothing than a backpack.
- Enough organisation for hectic days, but still simple and quick to live with.
- Great for city commutes, short hikes, travel, parenting, or weekend micro-adventures.
- Eco-designed with Bluesign® certified recycled nylon.
- A clean, modern silhouette that fits both outdoor and urban life.
The Wanaka Pocket is the rare small outdoor daypack that truly doubles as an everyday commuter bag. It adapts to your day instead of the other way around - whether you’re riding across town, hopping on a train, chasing a trail, or juggling a kid and a coffee. 15" laptop? Yes. A jacket, notebook, charger, snacks, and the “just in case” items? Still yes.
If you often need more room for day-long missions or weekend plans, the Squamish V3 (20-40L) will feel like the natural next step. Need something that clips directly to your bike rack? Check out the Annecy.

FAQ
Does it fit a laptop?
Yes - the padded sleeve fits up to a 15" laptop, with dual side access for smaller devices.

Is it good for daily commuting?
Yes - its 10-15L volume, slim shape and ultralight weight make it perfect for cycling, public transport and workdays.
Can I use it for hiking?
Absolutely. It’s an excellent small hike and trail pack thanks to its breathable back panel and roll-top expansion.
