A good pack is necessary for most kinds of outdoor adventures, especially backpacking or camping trips where you’ll be exposed to the elements at all times. Water resistance and durability are two of the most important features of any pack, but other features like capacity, materials, and weight are largely personal choices, so there really is no “right” or “wrong” selection. Because price can play an important role in the choice you make, we thought we’d show you some new, high-quality packs from SunnySports that are entirely affordable at less than $100. Don’t forget that all orders over $50 receive free shipping!
