And...hike!
At long last—a backpack we actually want to be seen with. It’s sleek-as-can-be, 100% packable, and primed for adventure...even if that adventure involves taking a stack of novels and a thermos of tea to the local park. We’re especially taken with its low-profile design and sustainable build (it’s crafted from 15 recycled plastic water bottles!). It’ll zip completely flat to ride along in your bag or suitcase as a backup when you reach your destination. And the material? Nylon can be trusted to take on even the heaviest tasks, and the reinforced cotton webbing shoulder straps are sturdy enough for daily jobs without adding any extra bulk. You’ll thank us next time you got one-too-many bags of groceries and have this little trooper at your side.
