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.

High quality solid wood rest
Size: 14.4"L x 3.15"W x 0.78"H, Color: Black Walnut
This wrist rest is nicely finished and was well packed in high-density foam as well as a cardboard box that was wrapped very tightly in thick plastic. It's sanded very, very smooth and is made of beautiful solid walnut, with nonskid pads on the back. The branding is on the side that touches the keyboard, so it is not visible or obtrusive at all. My keyboard is 15.5 inches long, and the 14.4 inch rest looks great up against it. The 0.78" thickness is also very suitable for the thickness of my keyboard. The product gets 5 stars because it is accurately represented and this is entirely down to personal preference, but something about this rest that I don't love is the degree of incline. I have my keyboard up on the kickstands, and the wrist rest that I already owned slopes pretty dramatically starting from the middle, so it follows the angle of the keyboard. The ZQL wrist rest is about 75% flat and then has a small slope that rounds off on the bottom edge. Again, this is very much a personal thing; I just brought it up because it's something that people might not think too much about until they actually use it. I think this rest would be great for anyone with very large hands, or with a flat keyboard. It's taking a little getting used to for me, but I really enjoy the smoothness and obvious quality of the wood. A wrist rest is an ergonomic must when it comes to thicker keyboards.

Nice. I like that the wood feels cool to the touch

A nice little wooden wrist rest. I would suggest not using it as a wrist rest, but use it more as a palm rest, because if you are having pain, putting more pressure on those wrist tendons is not gonna help. Quality of the item is good. My biggest worry about wooden wrist rests is that they'll not be sanded well, or not smooth, and you'll get a sliver or catch your skin on a piece. Second biggest worry is that they will be slippery, and slide around the desk, or just be covered with a coating or finish that is sticky for human skin. I'm happy to say, that this didn't have those issues. Mine is smooth, and made of dense wood. It doesn't feel cheap and made with hollow wood. There are no burs or slivers. It's not lacquered or sticky for your hands. It doesn't stain my hands when in use. And it has rubber feet to help grip, so it doesn't slide around. One benefit to having a wood wrist rest, is that it stays "cool" to the touch longer than cloth or gel pads. But, at the same time, one heated, it takes longer to cool back down. I've found that I quite like the cool sensation that is unique to wood. I'm happy with it and the overall quality.

Great looking wrist rest but lacks strong grip
The walnut wood looks and feels great and gives my desk setup a more premium look. The dimensions are as described on the product page. I have no doubt this wrist rest will last a long time given how solid and well made it is. The only downside is that it tends to move around a bit more than my old silicon wrist rest. The grip on the bottom isn’t as strong so I find myself readjusting it occasionally when gaming. Overall, recommended.

Very classy looking! Perfect height and length for TKL keyboards!
This wrist rest is the perfect height and length for my TKL keyboards! The wood is soft and smooth. It looks VERY classy compared to some of the wrist rests I've used in the past. The non-slip pads work great too. The only thing I could find that was wrong is that the logo is upside down. It's not visible though because it's the edge that meets the keyboard so it's never seen. I find it endearing actually! Everything else is perfect, so I'd definitely recommend!

Classy look, but finish issue
This walnut wrist rest looks great on the desk—simple, solid, and much nicer than foam or gel options. It has a clean, polished style that pairs well with a keyboard, and the non-slip base keeps it from sliding around. I wasn’t sure how I would like it compared to the soft cushy pad I used before, but it’s actually been pretty comfortable. The firmness gives steady support, and I haven’t found it too uncomfortable even after longer typing sessions. The one drawback is a spot where the finish has worn or dissolved. It wasn’t there when I first got it, so I suspect the coating isn’t as durable as I’d hoped. It doesn’t affect how it feels in use, but it does stand out on an otherwise sharp-looking piece. Overall, it’s a nice upgrade if you want a wooden wrist rest, just be aware the finish might not stay flawless over time.
