Swiss Army Backpacks: Mountainsmith Day Lumbar Pack Review

Average Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I have used this bag almost daily for 4 years.

I used it in costa rica for 1 month, used it in Burma for 1 month, and Mexico for 2 weeks.

I am a photographer and it was / is great. Definitely buy the strapettes to keep the weight off your hips. I was able to put a tripod on the bottom and carry 20 lbs of camera gear on it. I put a pad on the bottom of the main pocket to cushion my dslr, and used the smaller pocket for first aid kit/etc small stuff.

I still use it today and carry all my day-to day gear in it. love it. Never used the hip straps-just tucked them into the back pad and forgot abut them. There is a "secret" top pocket where the back pad is at the top.

this bag hasn't unraveled one bit, like the day i bought it but faded now :) I only wish it was truly waterproof the it would be perfect.

Product Description:
Do away with bulky day packs without sacrificing storage capacity with the Mountainsmith Day lumbar pack. Ideal for short hikes, urban touring, or school use, the 854-cubic-inch pack offers such generous features as a zippered main compartment that holds picnic lunches or valuables, an interior zippered hanging pocket for keys and the like, and a zippered front panel pocket for items that demand quick access, such as a flashlight or Leatherman. Hikers, meanwhile, will appreciate the pair of water bottle pockets, each of which accommodates a 32-ounce water bottle, while frequent travelers will dig the back-panel airline ticket pocket.
The Day pack is no slouch from a comfort perspective, either, with a removable shoulder strap with a sliding pad (great for airports), an air mesh foam back panel, and a tuck-away waist belt. And should you need to compress the contents when fitting the pack into a cramped overhead compartment or a tight school locker, simply cinch up the two compression straps and you're set. Other features include a bright yellow lining that promotes visibility, reflective highlights, and elastic rigging.
The pack--which is made of durable 420d Velocity nylon body fabric, high-density Oxford nylon reinforcements, and 210d mini ripstop nylon lining--measures 13 by 15 by 10 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
