BUILT TO SEND U1 Daypack Review
…ap around. Loosely flopping ice-tool blades is a common annoyance on packs designed by “design teams” without consulting mountaineers. And it can be very dangerous for people around you, too. Also, attaching gear or small pouches to shoulder straps and webbing daisy chains on the main panel is quick and easy. The pack looks like just one big compartment on the outside – but inside, it hides more organization than you may think. A full-size flat ba…
