Yeti just launched its new water-resistant Cayo backpack, and it's already selling out
From coolers and water bottles to backpacks, Yeti has won over our outdoor experts with its lineup of products that stand the test of time. That's why I'm welcoming the brand's latest debut with open arms to take on hiking excursions. The Cayo All-Weather Backpack boasts a durable, water-resistant material that can handle rough terrain. If you loved Yeti's signature cooler tote, the Camino, consider this backpack its cousin. Today, Yeti debuted the Cayo backpack in a 15- and an 18-liter capacity option with plans to launch a 35-liter bag later this year. Anyone from commuters to fishing enthusiasts to hikers will appreciate the newest. Here's all you need to know about Yeti's latest backpack launch as well as a fun new assortment of lunch boxes. Yeti Cayo 15L All-Weather Backpack The Cayo backpack features a bevy of organizational features, including quick-access pockets and internal storage pockets. For lugging on all-day adventures, its mesh pack panel should help comfortably tote hefty loads. It launched today, May 30, and it's already sold out in the black color. Yeti Cayo 25L All-Weather Backpack For $50 more in price, splurge on a bit more space with this 25-liter backpack. Choose from black and olive green colors that blend with the outdoors. You can also expand your pack by adding functional accessories, like an attachable gear case. Keep it secure on steeper treks with its removable chest and waist straps. If you're split between the Cayo 15L and the Cayo 25L, the former is more compact and ideal for commutes, while the latter can pack more for daytrips or as a carry-on item. Both are made with the same water-resistant outer shell and welded seams to help withstand light rain and keep your belongings safe. If the Cayo is anything like Yeti's previous launch, the Ranchero Backpack, it's sure to impress. CNN Underscored's outdoors, sustainable living and pet editor Kai Burkhardt took the Ranchero 27L out climbing and around town and appreciated its durable, versatile design — all hallmarks I expect from the brand. Considering that the Cayo 15L Backpack has already sold out in one color, this launch is on the way to becoming a bestseller, especially for those who will spend much time trekking outdoors this summer. It's also worth noting that Yeti premiered a handful of colorful lunch boxes for all your outdoor travels. From simple, compact bags to large insulated totes, check out Yeti's latest lunch boxes to pair with the Cayo backpack, below. Yeti 3-Liter Daytrip Lunch Box Available in a 3- and 5-liter option, this lunch box comes in handy with its insulated liner and frills-free design. It offers just enough room to lay an ice pack down and stack lunches atop. Yeti Daytrip 14L Tote Bag This might be the most stylish lunch boxes we've come across. It comes in eight colors, including this slate grey. Haul groceries or lunches for the whole family inside. Yeti Daytrip 6L Lunch Bag Stash full-sized water bottles alongside your snacks and meals with this upright lunch bag. You can also snag the accompanying shoulder strap for easier carrying. Is the Yeti Cayo Backpack a cooler? Is the Yeti Cayo Backpack a cooler? No, this bag is not insulated and is also not a cooler. Does the Yeti Cayo Backpack stand on its own? Does the Yeti Cayo Backpack stand on its own? Yes, it has a flat bottom so that you can place it on the ground and leave it upright. How much can I carry in a Yeti Cayo Backpack? How much can I carry in a Yeti Cayo Backpack? The Cayo backpack debuts in a 15- and an 18-liter bag capacity. Both the 15L and the 25L can fit a small tablet. The smaller size spans 19.5 inches tall by 11.4 inches long, giving room for an assortment of things, like a water bottle, a portable charger and more. Its mid-sized version runs 21.5 inches tall by 13.8 inches wide, allowing a bit more room to fit extra clothes, towels, snacks and on.

I Never Travel Without This Backpack, and It's 23% Off Right Now
My job as a full-time food and travel writer requires me to fly to different places all over the world. I am talking about at least 50 flights a year. Regardless of the destination, one thing I can never travel without is a spacious carry-on bag that I can easily hoist into the overhead compartment -- something that is also versatile enough to accommodate all my essentials. It doesn't take a professional traveler to know that having just the right luggage is essential. However, because I fly so often, I've tried out just about every type of carry-on bag you can find. And I say this with every ounce of feeling I can muster: This $31 Dinictis backpack is the single best travel accessory I've ever owned. And it's available now with a 23% discount at Amazon. I'll admit that other carry-on bags might look more stylish and come in a wider array of colors. But I have yet to find one that meets my needs for durability, efficiency and affordability better than this well-designed travel bag that's just $31 for the light gray version. If you have travel plans coming up this spring or summer, this is the carry-on you want to bring along, full stop. And don't worry about misplacing your backpack. Simply throw in an AirTag, especially when you can get a pack of them for a super low price, too. Read more: Traveling Soon? 5 Unique AirTag Locations for Peace of Mind Here are the current discounts for each color: Light gray: $31 (was $40) - $23% off Black: $36 (was $40) - 10% off Dark gray: $36 (full price) Blue: $36 (full price) When only a backpack will do It's available in four colors: gray, dark gray, blue and black. Pamela Vachon/CNET To be clear, my backpacking days were over before they started. Without the means for serious travel before age 25, my life as a traveler didn't kick off in earnest until I was equipped solely with roller-bag sensibilities. As an [age redacted]-year-old, when I scheduled myself for a bus trip along the coast of Peru, with overnight stays in modest accommodations, suddenly a roller bag felt kind of … well, prissy. Roller bags are decidedly inconvenient on unpaved or nontiled surfaces; plus, it's just not a good look when the vibe is more low-brow than luxury. This wasn't a backpacking trip by any means but a backpack was definitely called for. One that could accommodate a week's worth of clothing, amenities and a laptop but still potentially fit in a locker. The Dinictis 40L Travel Backpack came into my life for this particular trip, exceeding my expectations. Since that Peruvian adventure, this bag has come with me on every single trip, no matter the occasion. A backpack that works like a suitcase It's a backpack that packs like a suitcase. Dinictis Many travel backpacks are spacious and compartmentalized but the Dinictis 40L Travel Backpack operates like a suitcase. It opens along three sides so you can flip it open like a suitcase and pack accordingly, with straps for holding your clothing in place. This makes finding what you need much easier than shoving your belongings from the top down like a typical backpack. A side handle even allows you to carry it like a suitcase. When full, it can easily hold up to 10 kg, or 22 pounds, the weight restriction for carry-on baggage for many of the discount airlines. Because it's a backpack, nobody has ever asked to weigh it for compliance. It will always look lighter than it is. Store your laptop with confidence As a writer, I always travel with a laptop so I'm concerned with its portability as well as safety. That said, I hate having it pressed right up against my back, which can be stiff and, depending on where you're going, sweaty. The laptop sleeve on this model is ideally situated near the (sweat-free) front of the pack but isn't the most outward-facing compartment. Honestly, protected by a foam divider, the laptop feels hidden, even when packed to the gills. Outside pockets are a must A side handle is key for navigating public transportation. Dinictis I am team-soft-body, even in roller-bags, for two reasons. First, it's much easier to shove last-minute items into an already zipped suitcase without the clamshell action of a hard case, and second: outside pockets. Who can travel without these? (No, I really want to know…) This backpack has two outer pocket compartments for miscellany, arguably three when considering the extra space in front of the laptop sleeve -- and four if you include the handy water bottle holder. There are even compartments within the compartments. These are the sorts of details that separate the high-functioning from the holding-up-the-line travelers, in my opinion. Read more: Essential Items to Pack and Avoid in a Carry-On Bag to Breeze Through TSA Lines A personal item that can masquerade as checked luggage Safe laptop storage is crucial for a travel writer and this bag has a dedicated sleeve. Vaultz Many travel backpacks have an infrastructure that keeps them in a certain shape, even when empty. The Dinictis model has enough structure to keep its sides afloat while you pack it, but its essence is still as a lightweight, fabric backpack. If you've ever been asked to prove that your carry-on actually qualifies as carry-on, you will understand that "smushability" is an important factor. I have packed this backpack for a weekend away and brought it on board as a personal item. (I will fly Spirit Airlines but I will only do it while giving them as little of my money as possible.) It can totally fit under the seat in front of you when necessary. The beauty of this travel backpack is that it is also suitable as checked baggage, with heavy-duty fabric that can withstand the journey. The straps can be unclipped and tucked away and the body cinched by additional clips, for a tidy package that doesn't make you feel panicky when you watch it being whisked away on the baggage conveyor. I've had many trips where it leaves with me as carry-on and returns as checked luggage. Even in the lighter gray color, its durable material doesn't reveal that it has ever seen the tread of a baggage carousel. It was the function I didn't even know I needed, but now I never travel without it for this purpose.

The 40L Travel Backpack has thousands of five-star ratings on Amazon. As someone who reviews various products for a living, I know just how rare this kind of rating is. And now that it's still selling for only $31, this bag is a pretty safe bet. When will this deal expire? We don't know how long this deal will last, but we often see at least one color of this backpack on sale on Amazon. Still, we always recommend placing your order sooner rather than later if you want to ensure you get this price.
