“They sell some unique clothes and "camping" stuff but nothing for a serious trek.” “Their vests and jackets would keep you warm and their outdoors accessories would do the job that they set out to do, but I don't think this is the first place I'd go to get a tent or sleeping bag.” “I met Michael and Nate who's the lengthy guy who looks like Christopher Walken.” "These guys are great.

Besides a surfboard bag and a duffel bag, the collection also includes two dry packs, of 20L and 40L respectively, meeting head-on the increasing demand for waterproof day packs. The big brother of the High and Dry Pack 20, the High and Dry Pack 40 is a beautifully designed version of a classic roll-top dry pack. The central component of the pack is a main compartment made from water-repellent 300D Campdura fabric with a classic roll-top opening. Instead of plastic buckles, Poler Stuff uses aluminium g-hooks.

Using the MOLLE system on the front of the pack and the compression straps on the left and right, which similarly use g-hooks, the pack can be compressed down depending on how full it is. The straps are also perfect for attaching extra clothing, sleeping mats, etc. There’s also a water-proof YKK zipper opening on the lower part of the pack that allows easy and quick access to things at the bottom of the pack. This lower quarter of the pack is specifically strengthened with 600D Campdura material.backpack surprise dctc On top of that, there is a small pocket on the front for valuables, also protected by a waterproof zipper. ucluelet backpackA nice detail are the leather trims on the zipper tabs.4skin backpack

I especially like the idea of integrating an additional dry bag into the High and Dry Pack, which not only stop water from getting into the bag but also prevents moisture from getting out. In this way, the pack allows you to transport wet and dirty clothing or equipment while keeping the rest of your belongings dry and clean. It’s a great idea. The dry bag can be unzipped from the pack and used as a separate bag. With water-resistant packs, especially packs of this size, the drawback is usually in how comfortable they are to carry. backpack msi gt70Not the High and Dry Pack 40. targus europe 15 -16 laptop backpackThe padded back support is very comfortable, the shoulder straps too. kelsyus backpack chairYou can see on the photos that I packed the pack extra heavily for my test. fendi pequin backpack

Still, it sat very comfortably on my back and shoulders. There are also sternum straps, with an integrated whistle buckle, and waist straps to further distribute the load. Both straps are removable if you don’t need them. Conclusion: With the High and Dry Pack 40, Poler Stuff has shown that they not only can make nice-looking backpacks but they’re just as versed in more demanding and technical bags. The High and Dry Pack keeps the water out (or in, however you want to use it) and has a flexible capacity thanks to its MOLLE system and accompanying g-hooks. Comfortable to carry and with its cool look, the High and Dry Pack 40 from Poler Stuff is highly versatile and the ideal backpack, and not just for rainy days. – Removable Internal Dry Bag – Molle System for Multiple Lash Points – Top Loading Rolltop for Various Sized Gear – Colors: Black & Mushy Trees – Dimensions:  22.5”  x 13.5” x 9” (57 x 34 x 23 cm)Item added to basket Poler Retro Rolltop Backpack

Over the years the retailer’s evolved from selling a handful of arguably “hardcore” products and brands to one that offers a more diverse mix of products.

Unbeknownst to some, that list increasingly includes REI’s own labels. Case in point: the evrgrn brand. Fortunately, because REI knows its way around outdoor gear, its products tend to be solid. In the case of the evrgrn Rollback Pack 25L backpack, it’s as solid outdoors as it is in an urban setting. Camping in the Cascades often involves a day hike. For many city dwellers, hiking is much the same story: bolt from the city for a day-long visit to Mother Nature. Big backpacks are excessive for either type of outing, as you really only need to take water, snacks, a first aid kit and maybe a camera. And let’s face it, if you’re just venturing into the outdoors, you probably don’t have a big old backpack anyway. That’s where the evrgrn Rollback Pack 25L comes in. Compact and without a frame, the Rollback Pack 25L can be stuffed haphazardly in a closet when not in use and busted out when that quick day-hike comes calling. It also supports quick jaunts away from base camp, since it’s so lightweight.

The backpack isn’t designed to hold a ton; its capacity is 25 liters, which supports about the volume of one laptop and two two-liter bottles. For shorter trips, that’s plenty of space to pack the essentials. Rather than use a main-body zipper, the evrgrn Rollback Pack 25L can be closed by rolling down the top and holding it in place with a rubbery latch. Unlike similar backpacks, though, the Rollback Pack has a zipper on either side that allows you to easily access either the laptop sleeve or the main body. (The left-hand zipper accesses the body, while the right-hand zipper accesses the laptop sleeve.) This initially seems gimmicky, but the more I used the pack for day hikes, the more I came to appreciate not having to unclip, unroll, rifle through the stuff inside, then re-roll and re-clip the top.What was that about a laptop sleeve? REI realized this backpack isn’t for hardcore backcountry trips and will probably see double-duty outdoors and in the city.

For instance, I’ve used the laptop sleeve for my computer as well as to set apart a couple of 40-ounce water bottles from the rest of my stuff. In each case it held the items in place beautifully. The evrgrn Rollback Pack 25L backpack also has great water resistance, so you don’t have to worry about your laptop or gear getting wet if you encounter a sudden rain shower. To be fair, it isn’t a dry bag, so you won’t want to trust it with all your precious materials in a downpour. But the evrgrn Rollback Pack 25L handled multiple Portland rain showers with ease, and its seam-sealed zippers on the front two pockets even kept my wallet and cell phone dry. So, long story short, if you’re looking for a quick and easy day-hike backpack or something new to cart around the city, this is a solid option that’s not going to break the bank.
