go to day tour pack

Rating:*****

for day touring this is the pack i grab. just the right size, weight, easy carry options. and, the white and black - penguin - color way jumps out visibly in a way that you would never expect. it somehow has the opposite effect than you would think and the white gets neon bright. easy to spot and be spotted.
