You can take the Ion 20 Backpack to algebra, then ditch your computer at the dorm, swap it with a hydration system, and hit the trails for the afternoon. The North Face's ExoLite back panel and dual-density Airmesh shoulder straps keep air moving and ensure you don't overheat in the middle of the summer."

"Great pack. The two greatest features are the raincover and the padded mesh back panel.

Great pack."

"I was looking for a pack to use on full day trips and I found this beauty. It's perfect for the fast-paced light days up a mountain. With just enough room for food, minor cooking supplies, first aid, and rain gear this is all you need. It will not slow you down, not even in the rain because it comes with a rain cover that conveniently stows away in a pocket when not needed."
