Too much stress, like the kind we get each week from writing these clever pieces, can be a pain in the neck and that gradually heads down the back. The Geigerrig Pressurized Hydration Pack is a different kind of pressure on the back. This features an inflatable pouch that pressurized the water bladder to ensure that you don’t have to suck the water from the hose.
It can hold 70 ounces of water, and features heavy duty eight coil zippers and removable waist strap to provide a snug fit. The shoulder straps offer an ergonomic fit that ensures the pack remains comfortable while on the go. There is even a filter attachment that can help ensure clean water when out in the woods. You won’t have to suck and neither does this hydration pack.
For a day’s hike in the woods there is still much to bring – but hardly the right bag for the job. Many large packs are overkill, and the smaller packs still mean jamming things in the pockets or worse having the hands filled!
The composite pack known as Honey Badger from Sling Fin is like two packs in one. The super-tough backpack can be used for hiking, climbing and just about any outdoor activity. It is waterproof and rugged. Made of abrasion-resistant composts it features integrated tie downs, and climbing rope to ensure that all the gear stays put, and because it has a semi-rigid design it doesn’t need the extra suspension system – thus reducing weight as well.

If Jeremiah Johnson were around today and opted to go into the woods to become a hermit he’d probably opt for something like the just announced Mountainsmith Haze pack to carry his gear. Empty this pack weights just 1.9 pounds, but it can carry 50 liters of gear in its open main body, while the outer mesh pockets provide places for all the things a modern mountain man might need.
Consider the Sci’Con back to be your personal department of power and water while you’re on a ride. We’ve seen bags that haul water in a hydration pack and those that have a solar charger. Well, the Italian-made HydraCharge offers both.
Lightweight and highly adjustable is the promise of Osprey’s Escapist 30 Multi-Sport pack. Weighing in at just 2 pounds, 4 ounces, the bag can be fine tuned to figure back just perfectly. It is adjustable at the shoulders, back, and hips. And even if you may sweat the small details in life, while you hike your back won’t get overly wet, as a series of mesh-covered foam ridges provide passages for fresh air circulation.
