What day pack do you use?
« on: May 22, 2010, 05:44:10 PM »
Looking for a real day pack - last year I used a full-size internal-frame pack and it was just too much to schlep around all day, never mind dealing with fences or tight spaces.  Does anybody have a day pack they're really happy with and would recommend?  Preferably something that isn't made noisy fabric like cordura, of course.

I use a "tactical" daypack I picked up a couple of years ago.  It is made of heavy duty vinyl coated nylon material and has multiple zippered compartments with plenty of room for binocs, rangefinder, GPS, game processing tools and supplies as well as extra ammo, lunch, water and basic survival gear.  I paid about $25 for it.  If you look around you can probably still find it for near that price.  The shoulder straps sucked so I replaced them with a pair of Tactical Tailor ruck straps.  Inexpensive, rugged, comfortable and weatherproof.  What's not to like?

I've had the Badlands Superday for at least the last five years.  It has held up great and is very comfortable.

I don't have one but I think the next pack I buy will be a Nimrod. The company is in Cashmere, Washington and the packs are American made. I've heard good things about them from others, and they have a lifetime warranty.

The NIMROD Pinnacle is the best.  Great pack made here in Washington!
