This re-vamped version of the TrailMix hydration pack sheds 15% off the weight of the original and includes additional storage options. The roll-top opening on the large storage compartment works like a dry-bag, keeping clothing and other gear dry. It compresses out of the way when empty, and there are two large storage pockets on each of the pack shoulder straps for easy access to calories along the trail. An outer mesh pocket is the perfect place to stow wet items, and it includes a crisscrossed bungee cord for even more storage potential. The pack comes with a 1.5-liter hydration bladder that fits in its own internal pocket. Trekking pole storage can also be found on either side. MSRP: $150. Nathansports.com (Wil Wheaton)Â
