Mountain Hardwear: Scrambler Backpack

Most daypack designs don't store well, but Mountain Hardwear's Scrambler Backpack has a fold-down design so you can keep it in your car, SUV or boat until you're ready to hit the trail. Mountain Hard Wear optimized the storage design by eliminating the waistbelt, so as long as you're hiking light with a shell, lunch and water bottle, the 1,600-cubic-inch main compartment in the Scrambler Backpack should be more than enough room for an afternoon outing. An exterior Front bungee design makes it easy to attach an extra layer or dry out a damp rain jacket. The Scrambler Backpack has a drawcord closure beneath the attached lid to keep your gear protected from moderate precipitation.
