The HPL #759 is the result of Nathan Sports head designer Bryce Thatcher's quest to ride Utah's 103-mile White Rim Trail in less than eight hours (7:59...get it?). The end result is a rugged pack that's epic-ready with 1,200 cubic inches of storage space. But that's also good for shorter rides thanks to the company's propulsion harness: Two pieces of burly, durable rubber sit at the bottom of the shoulder strap/pack junction and stretch to accommodate varying load sizes. They also move independently for an exquisite t. The 759 comes with two holster-positioned water bottles for multiple H2O and sports-drink options. Finishing touch: The easy-to-access pockets on the wide mesh shoulder straps are perfect for gels, bars or a GPS unit.
