PACK ‘N GO

Macpac Fiord 28

Fresh out of the gate from Macpac is their brand new Fiord model, designed for technical day hikes. Lightweight yet durable, the Fiord’s main advantage is its roll-top closure – easy to pack gear in or out yet extremely water resistant. Combined with the silicon coating of the 100D nylon body this pack should survive any water intrusion short of a tropical downpour or slippery-log-across-river accident.
