Description

Two of Mountainsmith’s Classic Series lumbar packs, the Day (Recycled) and Tour (Recycled), are being offered using new recycled fabrics (450d PET recycled Velocity body fabric and 150d PET recycled rip stop lining).

Each pack reuses between 13 and 16 plastic bottles and has the same durability, comfort, and performance as other Mountainsmith packs.

Capacity: 488 cubic inches (8 liters)
Weight: 1 lb 5 oz (24.32 kg)
MSRP: $70

From Backcountry.com:
"The Mountainsmith Recycled Series Tour Lumbar Pack will comfortably haul your gear on any length day hike you dare undertake. Ultimate freedom of movement is the payoff for carrying a lumbar pack-and the Tour is expertly equipped to ensure the mid-sized loads it can carry are evenly distributed and compressed securely against your body. Mountainsmith consistently comes up with nice touches to their gear, like an Omni Belt that easily handles heavy loads, then tucks out of sight for convenience. 32 ounce Nalgene bottles fit easily in the Tour's mesh water bottle pockets. For those days you don't feel like completely saddling up, grab the dual carry handles for use as a briefcase in more urban adventures. A removable, padded shoulder strap converts the Mountainsmith Recycled Series Tour pack into a sling bag. 420d high density ripstop nylon ensures the Tour will last a lifetime."
