Hiking Backpacks
About Day Packs
Day packs are smaller capacity (12L to 35L) backpacks that provide enough volume for a day hike, an overnight trip, or for every day carry around town. Having a place for water, maps, a compass, and a medical kit are paramount, as well as room to stow an extra mid layer or rain jacket should the weather turn. Our Maxpedition packs offer excellent opportunities for compartmentalizing and organizing equipment, and provide modularity via means of molle webbing: if you need another compartment or pocket, one can be attached, providing structural strength equal to being sewn in. Our Frost River packs are hand crafted in Minnesota, USA, and offer timeless, traditional design in a rugged, tough as nails pack that are up to rigours of serious outdoor adventures.
