Manta 28

I never go riding without my pack: it’s a fixture out on the trail and holds every necessity for mountain travel. I therefore need a comfortable and spacious bag that won’t hold me back. The Manta 28 by Osprey is a multisport hydration pack with plenty of space for food, tools, clothing, or even a large camera. Up against my back on hot days, the Biostretch harness provides ample airflow and the magnetic hydration hose connection on the chest keeps water within reach at all times. When a storm hits, there’s an integrated rain cover to keep all of my gear dry and happy. With this pack, I’m able to head out onto the singletrack with confidence knowing I have everything I need. Available at Timber Trails and Grizzly Outfitters. $148; ospreypacks.com.
