Mountain Equipment, Inc. Glacier Backpack

Article Abstract:

The $225 Mountain Equipment Inc Glacier Backpack proved comfortable and versatile during field tests. The pack has dual side zippers, a compression panel, side compression straps and an excellent top lid. The pack would be a good choice for trails, but swayed too much for off-trail hiking.
