Mountainsmith Grand Tour Daypack

Warning: This isn’t about records on Dawn Wall, skiing down Everest or clawing your way to jungle-defended first ascents in Borneo. Grand Tour is about going through life with your essentials, grabbing the same style that’s commanding big dollars for verified vintage day packs and jackets. Yes, there’s an internal hydration sleeve and side access to a generous padded laptop compartment (fits most screens up to 15.4”). But the bold, toothy 610D Cordura fabric that wraps the 1160 cu in gem in durability is what makes the throwback profile a keeper. Internal organization, well-conceived shoulder straps, waistbelt and a padded, breathable back panel add up to all-day comfort. No wonder this ski-inspired Mountainsmith backpack really never went away. Or should, for that matter.
