The Daypack Evolves

Call me Pack-Man, a guy gobbling up miles and miles of trail, always with a daypack on my back.

All too often, my aching back. 

For years and years, on hikes around the world, soon as I reached the top of that peak or that beautiful lake, I literally tossed off my pack in relief. (Some hiking backpacks were so badly designed I was tempted to throw them off the mountain or into the lake.)
