Best day pack going

Ranked #620 - Winter Packs
December 28, 2006
I bought this back when it was called the vertex for resort riding and day hikes. Since then, its been to almost every continent and has done everything from carrying beer to hauling my skis for hours at a time and I don't think it has a single frayed edge or patch of warn fabric. It's incredibly comfortable, durable, and functional, not to mention it looks good too. Only down side is that its a little small to fit everything for a safe, full day of touring.
