I think this is what you were looking for sweets. The Battlepack Core is our middle sized backpack. Works great for all activities and travel (meets airline carry on requirements). It has plenty of room... View full product detailsThe is our first foray into the long line of outdoor and travel gear offered by this German company, headquartered in the US in Colorado. Based on our first impressions with the Airlite 28, we’ll eagerly be trying more gear from their line of hiking, backpacking and travel gear. With quality construction, function, comfort and ventilation we’ve loved using this backpack on day hikes throughout the spring and early summer months here in Georgia. Georgia’s terrain is spectacularly stunning and widely diverse.

And the state’s climate is notoriously warm and humid. Since we spend most of our time hiking the warm-weather southeastern states, a backpack with airy ventilation is a high on our list for on-trail comfort.dragon backpack onde comprar The Airlite’s flexed frame and mesh back support position the bulk of the pack off my back, allowing air to circulate between my back and the pack. shsu backpackA cooler, drier fit, even when the temperature starts to swelter. wanderpacks laptop backpackAnd post-hike, there’s nothing worse than a soaked shirt sticking to your back after an awesome adventure – but with the Airlite’s airy fit, I’m dry and ready for a comfy ride home.berghaus 247 backpack

Deuter designed the Airlite with ample room for day hike necessities: we’ve loaded it up water bottles, dog bowls, extra clothing, a first aid kit, food and snacks, with room to spare.16l backpack sprayer Inside, the pack is roomy lengthwise – but unlike traditional, unframed daypacks, the flexed frame does cut down on the bag’s depth. ryobi backpack blower saleThe Airlite 28’s interior features a pocket for a 3L hydration pack pocket, and we found the space problem compounded when the bag is used with a hydration pack. mcdonald's backpack saturday tucson(It’s really not an issue if you’re packing small-ish gear, though – and to me, the added comfort provided by the ventilation totally makes up for the bag’s restricted depth.)

On the exterior, the Deuter Airlite 28 is a durable-constructed pack featuring high quality nylon, stitching, zippers and cording. For exterior storage, the day pack features a large open pocket on the front, mesh compartments on the waist belt for smaller items and two stretch mesh pouches on the sides to keep water bottles or bear spray close at hand. There’s also a zippered pocket on the top of the pack, with a key hook for storing keys and enough room to stash valuables like a wallet, mobile phone and sunglasses. And in case the weather turns to drizzle mid-adventure, a rain cover unzips from a pouch on the bottom of the pack. Like the back support, the shoulder straps and waist belt are made from lightweight breathable mesh, which helps to cut down on the amount of fabric riding on my shoulders, hips and lower back. The adjustable waist belt, chest and shoulder belts and compression straps on the front of the bag keep the pack firmly set on the comfortable hip pads for a balanced, lightweight load.

The pack balances the weight of the contents well and doesn’t leave any area of the shoulders or hips to bear the brunt of a moderate load. And while the backpack weighs just over two pounds (not ultralight by any means), the backpack’s frame system helps absorb the cargo weight so well, it actually feels lighter on the trail than similar-sized, lighter weight unframed backpacks. Check out what’s in our backpacks for day hikes on Georgia’s backcountry trails. The Deuter Airlite 28’s lightweight, comfortable and ventilated design make this a great pack for warm weather day hikes. Its durable construction and attention to detail will keep this backpack on my back for years to come – and it’s sure to see some incredible adventures along the way. While Deuter provided us with a sample Airlite 28 to test, all opinions above are our own, and based on our own, trail-tested experience.So many beautiful, useful, and sustainable things cross my desk every week, so I periodically condense them all into a handy post of my favorites for you to peruse.

I hope you find something you like in here! I’ve been thinking for a while about how I need to find a good ethical workout sock. I’m always buying new ones, because I’m no better than you at keeping pairs in my possession. Mitscoots socks are made in the U.S., and employ the less fortunate in packaging them up. And for every sock you buy, a pair goes to the homeless. (Apparently, clean socks are a huge request from the homeless–I did not know that!) They’re built for long-lasting performance. I’ve worn them both out to an all-night dance party, and to Soul Cycle. They are comfortable, sweat-wicking, and keep me comfortable and blister free! Pick them up–along with other ethical and sustainable items–from Orange Harp. The British blog Eco Fashion Talk turned me onto this sustainable brand, which creates happy and sophisticated dresses. Beautiful Soul sources its fabric consciously (British wool, British lace, sustainable, organic and Fairtrade fabrics), produces ethically in the UK, and uses material remnants for fastenings and embellishments so as to adhere to a zero-waste policy.

It was even shortlisted for the 2013 Sustainable City Awards. Argan oil is my favorite way to smooth out frizzy hair. With summer coming, I’ll be using it every day. John Masters’ argan oil is hand harvested by a women’s collective in Morocco. It’s naturally rich vitamin E (that stuff that is really good for your hair and nails) essential fatty acids and carotene. Even better, its scent is so subtle that you can hardly smell it at all. If you’re a fan of smelling like yourself (like me!) you’ll like it. In preparation for summer, I’ve been working out a lot more, and I just didn’t have enough work out pants! I actually already owned a pair of sunset pants from Teeki, and I love them. Made in California, they are made of 79% recycled plastic bottles, and printed in a sustainable way that is safe for workers in the environment. So I went straight back, and after some very hard decision-making, settled on ordering the Deer Medicine pants. Made from natural fibers and produced ethically in Portugal, Datura clothing walks the fine line between insouciant and luxurious.
