Why the Quest 40 exists
Go looking for a hiking pack and you'll find two options. On one end, cheap gear that looks fine online but hits you with instant buyer's regret once you get it because of how crappy it is. Cheap material, zippers that jam, straps that fray, stitching that gives out. On the other end, brands like Osprey and Gregory, charging $200 or more for a 40 liter pack. Good gear, sure. But priced like it's the only way to get quality.
I kept running into that gap. Either spend next to nothing and get next to nothing back, or pay a premium that didn't match what most people actually need out of a day pack. There wasn't a middle ground. So I built one.
The Quest 40L is what happens when you refuse to accept that trade-off. Real internal frame. Real durability. Real function. With real thought put into every strap or pocket. Then priced like it should be, and not like you're paying for a logo.
The Quest 40L
Built as the perfect full-day hike pack. Enough capacity to carry everything you need from sunrise to sundown, without the bulk of a multi-day backpacking pack weighing you down. But the Quest 40L doesn't stop at the trailhead. It's built for anyone who moves. Hikers, travelers, students, commuters, and everyone who refuses to let "where I'm going" limit what they carry.
Built for real situations, not just spec sheets:
- Ready before the storm hits. Tucked into a hidden pouch at the base of the pack, the included rain cover deploys in seconds to shield the entire bag. No digging through your gear, no scrambling when the sky opens up.
- Your back needs to survive the whole day. The internal frame and padded, air-flow back panel keep the pack stable and your back cool, whether you're on mile one or mile ten.
- Heavy textbooks, heavy demands. That same internal frame that carries a full day of gear on the trail carries a full course load on campus. The Quest 40 doubles as a serious, durable daily bag for college life, built to hold real weight without sagging or losing shape.
- Hydration without the hassle. Fully compatible with a hydration bladder for hands-free sipping on the move, plus deep mesh pockets on both sides for water bottles or drinks you want to grab quickly without breaking stride.
- Everything has a place. Adjustable internal compartments keep gear organized instead of shifting around loose — whether that's trail snacks and a first aid kit, or a laptop and a change of clothes.

I bought a Reika bag for the looks and the compartments. I am a pocket snob when it comes to organization, and hate having gear floating around. The Reika bag keeps me from having to have separator bags in my bag. After having the Reika out several times, especially in the cold, I am happy with the quality. Zippers slide nicely, the hip strap fits snug on a tall skinny guy, and the contoured back insert helps weight distribution sit low on the hips. I ended up getting my wifey and daughter one, the nine-year-old daughter will grow into it and have a pack that should last her a decade or more. I recommend them to my friends and know if we're out together I won't be carrying their stuff or duct taping their pack.

Since purchasing the Reika bag it has changed my outdoor adventures. Some of my favorite features are the suspended frame. It adds the perfect amount of support and keeps my back dry of sweat. I took it dirt biking and it felt like I had nothing on at all. The cover for when it's rainy is genius. It's the perfect size for a day adventure! In the future I would like to see Reika come out with a gym bag that is easy to wash. Perhaps another day bag that has an attachment for a pistol holster. Until then I'm going to rock the shit out of the quest 40L!

Very happy with my REIKA hiking bag purchase. Fits tons of gear with lots of storage, All the straps and back padding support are really nice. The back is built in a way that it keeps the main pouch of the backpack off your back. This kept my back supported as it hugged nicely while snowboarding. The material it's made out of seemed to do well in the snow while keeping my stuff dry, The water bottle pockets are nice and deep and held my 24oz water bottles secured, while it also has a compartment for a water bladder. The pack material seems strong and sturdy and I expect it to hold up well. The pack was easy to adjust and was very comfortable wearing. This is the first time I've taken a backpack snowboarding and barely noticed it in most of my riding.

I bought my Reika backpack to make day trips while in southern Utah (Zion, Bryce). I was looking for something more affordable than Osprey etc but still high quality, and I am so happy to have found my Reika pack! I absolutely love some of the features especially the multiple compartments (which adds up), the light weight material, and zipper function. It's durability is also high quality as it still looks in pristine condition despite a week straight doing day hikes on the trail. If you're looking for a pack that is high quality but won't break the bank, I highly recommend this pack.

This backpack is lightweight, but stable and keeps the weight close to your back. No matter what terrain, the backpack stayed close to my body. The design is comfy with weight, and the air channel is ventilated well. It has many different, conveniently located pockets to help keep my stuff organized and easily accessible. Overall, a great backpack!

Fell in love with this backpack the first time I took it snowboarding! It has the ability to be adjusted to your height/body, and fits snug. I can carry everything I need for the day, and I added a nice Camelbak bladder to mine. I love the side pockets for my AirPods, chapstick, and things I don't wanna have to take the back off for. 5 stars for this adventure pack.
