Mountainsmith Lariat 65 Pack -
Are you going to be backpacking around Europe? Studying abroad in South America? Road tripping from coast to coast? For these adventurous travels and more, the Mountainsmith Lariat 65 offers comfort, convenience, and a friendly price tag. A 6.5 liter detachable daypack lets you leave the bulk of your stuff in a hostel locker and take to the streets to see the sights, while the U-shaped front compartment zipper provides duffle bag-like access to the main compartment for easy packing in the morning. The fully-featured suspension system (which is more substantial than the adjustable, zip-away harnesses found on other adventure travel packs) provides long-haul comfort when you find yourself trekking.
