Montbell’s virtues: Versatile, lightweight, functional gear. The Tri Pack 45 (2 pounds, 4 ounces) has three carry options: backpack, shoulder bag or briefcase style. Travelers will love the bag’s strong, durable 330-denier Ultra Ballistic rip-stop nylon (developed by Montbell) and it is small enough to meet most airline’s overhead compartment guidelines. Available in navy, green and black. $165. A great day companion is Montbell’s Pocketable Light Packs available in four sizes: 13, 15, 18, 20. We tried out the 18, which is ultra-light (6.4 oz) and ultra-strong (70-denier rip-stop nylon). Stuff easily into your pocket or suitcase when not in use. Comes in citron, black, navy.
