Mountain Hardwear Guardian Backpack - 1450cu in

Mountain Hardwear made the Guardian Backpack out of the same burly nylon fabric used in the expedition duffel bags, so you can be sure this pack can take whatever you dish out. While the Guardian Backpack comes with city-ready features like a 17in laptop pocket and shoulder-mounted cell phone pouch, it can also take on a day hike with ease. Mountain Hardwear added two side stretch pockets to keep your water within reach, and the 1450cu inch main compartment easily holds enough clothing and snacks for a day-long outing.

Bottom Line: Tough as nails.
