When you need a dependable and especially handsome bag to carry your gear, but you don't want to deal with all the trappings of a full-sized camping or technical pack, this heavy waxed canvas and bridle leather option from Bradley Mountain is as good as they come. Between its tough exterior, hard-use leather straps, and all-metal hardware, the 10.5-liter capacity Day Pack (which is expandable to 13.5L) is a superb short-term travel companion. And the looks of it are both stylishly classic and elegantly refined. As an added bonus, it's also completely handmade in San Diego, California
