Whether you are going on a day hike or just commuting to work, the hyper dots / charcoal Loop Backpack from High Sierra is a solid choice. The pack features a multi-compartment design with multiple zippered sections to aid in organizing your gear. Internal zippered accessory pockets, plus an organizer compartment with multiple pockets and a key fob will help keep your gear handy at a moment's notice. An MP3 player pocket has a headphone port so you can keep your device secure and listen to music on the go.

The exterior of the pack has a spring-loaded clip located centrally on the back to hold a helmet or other bulky items. A mesh beverage compartment is located on either side to allow quick access to water bottles and help keep you hydrated.
