Hi Hiker Friends,
I realize a similar thread passed around sometime in November but ummm...
I'm looking to get a new day pack. Right now I have a little EMS something or another and it's nice & simple but not good for early spring or late fall when you may need crampons and/or snowshoes but taking the heavy pack is overkill. Or also when you're doing a longer hike (1 day Pemi Loop) and you need extra room for supplies and don't want it to sag at the same time.
Any suggestions for a sturdy daypack, not too huge but not too small. Places to comfortably attach snowshoes is a plus. Side water bottle holders is a *must* -- I like to gulp my water. I tend to put everything in EMS bags so compartments aren't necessary really. I'd say 15-20lbs weight capacity.
Style and image isn't too important. I spoke to my hairstylist and he said that he could sculpt my hairdoo to match the pack, whatever it is. So that's not an issue, thank God.
In the previous thread, somebody mentioned Wild Things Gear... the "Racer Pack" looks nice but maybe it's too expensive & also big. But someone could convince me otherwise.
Please Help!
All The Love In The Universe,
Dr. Wu
PS. Oh, and if there's anyway I could get a pack that'll keep burritos and quesadillas from Anna's Taqueria warm and fresh, let me know!
