Day Lumbar Pack
$99.95
Description

  The lumbar pack that started the craze in the 80s, the Mountainsmith Day pack lives on in its modern incarnation as a favorite of hikers and outdoor-minded travelers. With a broad swath of versatile uses, this pack tends to become a cherished possession in every outdoor enthusiast’s gear closet. However, it does not stay there long as it gets used daily as a hiking pack, disc golf bag, messenger bag, office briefcase, carry-on travel solution, diaper bag, and whatever else you can think of.

  Built with ultra-durable ripstop Nylon fabric, the Day lumbar pack will become your outdoor security blanket as it logs countless miles adventuring with you around the world. Though the design honors the 40+ year history of this waist pack and has not changed much in shape, modern features make this version of the Day the best yet.

Footprint sold separately.

What Life in the Grand Canyon Tells Us About Life Everywhere Else, With Cindell Dale
  The River Guide is an outdoor archetype, a sunburnt romantic whose everyday existence is a bucket list adventure for the rest of us. They read inscrutable water, navigate person-eating hazards, and exude a natural connection to the canyons through which they guide us—and, in the Grand Canyon, all of that gets turned up to 11. Cindell Dale has guided “the...
More Pockets, Minimal Weight: Deuter Speed Lite Pro 30L Review
  When I’m 2,000-plus vertical feet and 10 miles into a hike, the last thing I want to think about is the weight of my pack pulling me down. Luckily, as I hiked wearing the Deuter Speed Lite Pro, the thought didnt cross my mind. The pack was loaded with gear, but it wasnt slowing me up or weighing me down...

RallyCrew: The Whitewater Community’s New Digital Eddy
  Since the popular Boatertalk forum shuttered in 2020, there hasnt been a central meeting point for whitewater paddlers. But, on Thursday, August 21, 2025, a new home for the whitewater community will be available to all. Its called RallyCrew.   The whole idea behind RallyCrew is to create a global platform for whitewater paddlers — kayakers, canoeists, rafters, packrafters, and SUPers...
The Gear PCT Thru-Hikers Are Loving (And Ditching) This Year
  It isn’t that hard to find them in town. Thru-hikers are predictable — more animal-like in behavior than town and city folk. Burger stands are typical spotting grounds. Any cheap motel with the door wide open and sink-washed laundry on the railing is a likely habitat. Natural shade lures them in.   But the annual PCT Days is a next-level draw...
We Tested the Redesigned 2026 Can-Am Defender Lineup: What Was Good Is Now Great
  UTV manufacturers love to shout “all-new” the same way gas station sushi shouts “fresh.” Most of the time, it’s a reach. A new hood shape and a tweaked badge do not equal a redesign.   Can-Am didn’t play that game. The 2026 Defender lineup actually changed. This isn’t lipstick on a bumper. The brand rebuilt the platform from the ground up....
I Have 4 Kids—This Is the Back-to-School Gear That’s Saving My Sanity
  I’m the father of two middle-school girls and two grade-school boys. Weekdays during the school year are absolute sprints that start before dawn and end when my wife and I fall asleep before 9:30 p.m. As many of you can relate, it’s exhausting. As a gear reviewer, I’ve spent a lot of time dialing in the items that help keep...
Smart Design Upgrades, Easy Access, All-Day Comfort: Mystery Ranch Updates the Glacier Backpack
  It doesn’t matter how long you’ve spent walking in the woods; you inevitably have a favorite pack. It’s comforting, familiar, and the one you go back to repeatedly. Admittedly, I was reticent to give up on my favorite pack and put on Mystery Ranch’s Glacier pack. I was delighted when I realized this pack provides all my favorite features, plus...
Tara Dower Sets New Overall Supported FKT on Vermont’s Long Trail
  The original version of this story was published on iRunFar.   Before dawn on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, Tara Dower reached the southern terminus of the 272-mile Long Trail at the Vermont–Massachusetts border. She had set a new overall supported fastest known time (FKT) on the route with a time of 3 days, 18 hours, and 29 minutes.   This bests the previous overall...
$30 Raffle Ticket Could Land You a One-of-a-Kind Gravel Bike, and Helps Repair National Forest
  If youve never visited Pisgah National Forest outside of Asheville, N.C., youre missing out on a special place. With rich offerings of hiking, camping, and cycling, its beloved by locals for good reason.   But maintaining such a wealth of outdoor recreation isnt cheap —especially after the widespread damage caused by Hurricane Helene last year.   Luckily, a new nonprofit emerged just...
Bats in the Attic: NPS Contacts Grand Teton Lodge Guests for Rabies Risk Assessments
  If you stayed at Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park between May 5 and July 17, 2025, the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) might want to hear from you. The hotel discovered a bat colony in a shared attic of one building. The agencies are now coordinating risk assessments...
Too Good to Be True? BikeOn Unveils ‘CycleClick’ Clip-On Power Meter
  This story was originally published on Bikerumor.   BikeOn is shaking up the power meter world with the launch of CycleClick, a compact, clip-on device that claims pro-level power metrics with no tools, no crank swaps, no fuss.   Whats the catch? Its a wild design that connects to the chain and pulls all the data from the movement of the chain...
