I priced other internal frame daypacks before my trip and this was by far the cheapest. I took this pack on a 5-day mountain bike ride from Pittsburgh, Pa., to Washington, D.C., and it performed very well.

My son and daughter each took one of these on a trip through Europe and they carried it on every plane, train, and bus they rode without any problems.

All in all, it’s a pretty solid ice chest and a major upgrade from some of the stryofoam and even Rubbermaid coolers of yore. We start our hike north, not knowing if it’s 12.5 or 25 miles. By the end of the first section the AllTrails maps say we’ve done half the allotted miles but… Continue reading One day an Ozark Trail Thru Hike hiking missouristateparks ozarktrail Ask MetaFilter

Also a good choice for youngsters who are new to hiking, or who need a rugged pack for toting school items. This cooler claims that it keeps ice for more than 4.5 days in mild temps.

Used for its intended purpose, this is one of the best hiking/backpacking deals I’ve ever come across. We recently took a camping trip to the mountains and I needed a lightweight pack to hold my toiletries (soap, shampoo/conditioner), fresh clothing change and my crocs/hiking boots and my towel.
