A tough carry-all is your best friend for both commuting and hiking. Spruce up your haul with help from Epperson Mountaineering, a company that has mastered the art of the backpack.

The Large Climb Pack is the brand's most popular. It's a high-capacity bag that's easy to carry, making it great for weekend trips or extended travel. With a design inspired by climbing-rope packs and a retro color scheme, it's got lots of durability and a host of external zip pockets for easy storage. The carabiner front closure ensures nothing gets out accidentally, and because the pack is made from abrasion-, tear-, and scuff-resistant material, it'll last for ages.
