The classic Tour lumbar pack from Mountainsmith is more than capable of holding enough food and water for a day on the trail, making it a great choice for casual hikers. The 488-cubic-inch pack offers such features as a zippered main compartment that holds picnic lunches of valuables, an interior zippered hanging pocket for keys and the like, and a zippered front panel pocket for items that demand quick access, such as a flashlight or Leatherman. Hikers, meanwhile, will appreciate the pair of water bottle pockets, each of which accommodates a 32-ounce water bottle, while frequent travelers will dig the back-panel airline ticket pocket. The Tour pack is no slouch from a comfort perspective, either, with a removable shoulder strap with a sliding pad (great for airports), an air mesh foam back panel, and a tuck-away waist belt. And should you need to compress the contents when fitting the pack into a cramped overhead compartment or a tight school locker, simply cinch up the two compression straps and you're set. Other features include a bright yellow lining that promotes visibility, reflective highlights, a key clip, and elastic rigging.
The pack--which is made of durable 420d Velocity nylon body fabric, high-density Oxford nylon reinforcements, and 210d mini ripstop nylon lining--measures 11.5 by 10 by 5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
