Oh, you want a bag that can handle your commute?
Try Mystery Ranch. The Bozeman, Montana-based duffle-maker counts the U.S. military as its largest client, and their packs get the approval from the likes of the Navy SEALS and U.S. Forest Service Hotshots (aka wildfire firefighters).
They’ll handle the subway or your day hike just fine. Each bag features a weather-resistant exterior, plenty of pockets, good ventilation and a lot of versatility in how you can wear ‘em. Plus, they’re built to transfer and distribute weight comfortably.
And now they’re up to 40% off at Huckberry right now. A few favorites:
For versatility: The 3-Way Briefcase
A laptop bag with its own dedicated sleeve, the 3-Way is a briefcase, shoulder bag or backpack depending on how you carry it, all with a large central compartment that can be expanded via a compression zipper. Available in three colors.
For rugged weekends: Mission Rover Travel Backpack
A 43L carry-on with clamshell zipper access, divided internal compartments and an isolated shoe/laundry compartment to keep your funky stuff separate.
For your day trips: In & Out Packable Backpack
Extremely lightweight (but tear-resistant), this pack stuffs into its own front mesh pocket and can fit into a water bottle pocket. Also good for water breaks during hikes: It features a 2L reservoir pocket with ports to a drinking tube above the shoulder.
