Mountainsmith Spectrum Camera Backpack

The Mountainsmith Spectrum Camera Backpack offers the perfect combo of camera bag and daypack. Often these camera daypacks have a huge camera bag section, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a snug, secure place for your camera.

This pack is the perfect size and still gives you enough room to carry a full digital SLR and two or three lenses.

Lily by Mountainsmith Backpack

As a female traveler, adventurer and backpacker, I am usually a fan of high-quality and female specific designed products. While those guys’ back may have a thousand bells and whistles, they just aren’t designed to fit my woman’s frame or shape. While I personally have a Marmot Diva 45 (and love it), I am also a fan of the Lily by Mountainsmith.

The Lily is also a terrific size for shorter trips or day hikes. At its 31.2 Liter size , it’s made to be big enough to fit all your essentials without being too big to weigh you down (plus, it only weighs 2.8 pounds).
