Salida Backpack

Mountain Hardwear knows  comfort and function are key when you're trekking in town or on the trail. The Mountain Hardwear Salida Backpack is a solid daypack that will please whether you're hiking in Hawaii or commuting in Columbus. The fully-padded back panel and shoulder straps offer all-day comfort, and spacer mesh in the back provides a clear channel for fresh air so you don't get too sticky too quickly.

Access the main compartment via sturdy YKK zippers, and use the multi-function sleeve as either a hydration holder or a laptop home. A front stash panel grabs your GPS or point-and-shoot, and the elastic cord holds tightly to your windbreaker or rain shell. Side compression straps are the backpack equivalent to control-top pantyhose, while the sternum strap and removable waist belt give the Salida some stability when you're traversing rocky ground. Reflective accents make the pack, therefore you, more visible to drivers when natural light is lacking.
