Technical Backpacks

Carrying an ugly monkey on your back on a long hike is NO fun, which is why I so recommend a technical pack for day hiking. If you've read the Guide to Day Packs, hopefully you agree with me that a pack does more than just hold your gear. And so, to help you find the right backpack for day hiking, I've listed some good quality packs that are designed for extensive day use in the backcountry. All the packs shown below are available through Backcountry.Com.
