Backcountry is known in the outdoor adventure community as a go-to for a wide variety of recreation gear, from hiking to ice climbing to fly fishing to trail running. You name the activity, they've got essentials for it (even yoga!). I've always been hesitant to test out namesake products over widely-recognized brands like The North Face, Patagonia and Cotopaxi, but with Backcountry, it has been a totally different experience.
I recently took the Backcountry Lightweight 22L Pack on a day hike in the North Georgia mountains, and it was an incredible companion. With my dog in tow, I was able to use the pack's front loops to attach my pup's water bowl and waste bag dispenser with ease. Considering the South's heat and humidity, I stayed nice and cool thanks to the breathable mesh back panel and shoulder straps. This baby definitely gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me, and I can't wait to fill it up for my next hike.
Whether you have a weekend-long camping trip or a week-long hiking trip coming up, try out some of Backcountry's in-house gear and apparel collections. Each piece has been thoughtfully developed by combining years of testing, customer feedback and personal experiences from the company's Gearheads, a team of former pro athletes, guides, gear junkies, 100-day skiers and experts from all over the U.S. Plus, the prices can't be beat!
