Big loads deserve a robust,
heavy-duty, comfortable backpack. If
you carry heavy loads (and I know
who you are), you can't go wrong
with the Bora 80 from Arc'Teryx. |

Need a lightweight, technical pack
for climbing, whether it be on ice,
rock, or snow? The Khamsin 62 from
Arc'Teryx might just be what you are
looking for. |

Are you the kind of person who
drives a Lexus instead of a
Chrysler? A person who prefers
luxury and options over spartan and
no frills? If so, then you may want
to check out the Cerro Torre Delta
40L for your next outdoor adventure. |

Sometimes, Mother Nature just does
not want to cooperate, and your
entire outdoor adventure is
punctuated with rain, soaking all
your gear, making for a miserable
time. That is, unless you are
carrying the Eureka Cloudburst,
super water-resistant backpack. |

Need a cover to keep your backpack
dry, but don't want to carry a
heavy, bulky cover? If so, then
check out Granite Gear's
ultralightweight backpack cover. |

Lightweight doesn't have to mean
light-duty. This 3 pound backpack
can comfortably carry 35-40 pounds,
and survive the worst outdoor
adventures with hardly a whimper. |

With winter upon us, and warm gear a
necessity, you may want to consider
the Status Latitude. It has plenty
of room to store all the gear you
need for a week's adventure. |

Whether you are a fastpacker, trail
runner, adventure racer, a day
hiker, or you plain just don't like
to carry heavy packs, you will find
lots to love with the Advent Pro
from Gregory. |

Light weight is a good thing,
especially when it comes to
backpacks. At less than 3 pounds,
the G-Pack from Gregory comfortably
carries up to 25 pounds of gear for
day hikes, overnighters; and for
dedicated fastpackers, up to a week
of gear. |

You don't have to own a Gregory
backpack to take advantage of a
Gregory Rain Cover. If you expect
heavy rain on your next adventure,
consider a rain cover for the
ultimate protection. |

This backpack is not called the
Ghost because it is invisible,
although it may feel invisible when
you carry it. The Mountainsmith
Ghost is one of the lightest
backpacks made today, and the
perfect companion for your outdoor
adventures.

A technical backpack that holds up
to 4,700 cubic inches, weighs 4
pounds 14 ounces, and is easy on the
back; is this even possible? Yes,
Osprey has created a backpack that
is not only lightweight, but is
comfortable under heavy loads. |

This tough, four-season daypack
meets the needs of many hikers,
climbers, skiers, and snowboarders.
And unlike most daypacks, this one
is remarkably adjustable, ensuring a
perfect fit. |
