Multi-day hiking trips are exponentially better when you enter them packed and prepared. Meaning, that drawstring backpack you took home from a hotel conference shouldn’t be the go-to pack for your camping adventure this summer.
We recommend picking up the Patagonia Nine Trails 36L Backpack, which is now on sale via Backcountry for 50% off.
There’s a lot to appreciate about this pack. It combines a lightweight shell with a deep, 36L capacity, meaning you can easily pack it full of water, snacks, sweatshirts and rain jackets. The Cordura exterior will be able to take a beating from branches and rocky terrain, the harnesses and shoulder pads were designed to ease the load on your shoulders and lower back, and there are an assortment of pockets on the outside for easy access to essentials.
The only catch here: the deal’s exclusively on the backpack in red. If that’s going to be a problem, you can chose between grey and blue. You’ll just have to spend $100 more.
We've put in the work researching, reviewing and rounding up all the shirts, jackets, shoes and accessories you'll need this season, whether it's for yourself or for gifting purposes. Sign up here for weekly style inspo direct to your inbox.
