"Backpack" is a generic term that means, not surprisingly, a pack worn on the back. This could be anything from a small rucksack to a week-long, expedition pack. "Daypack" essentially implies a smaller pack that can keep what you need for the day on the trail, at the park, at school, or going to and from work. Some are "technical," designed for specific outdoor pursuits, while others are more designed for students or work use. The size of daypacks can vary greatly, so when shopping for one it's important to know both how you want to use it, as well as how large you want it to be.
