Product Description
Continuing to lend innovation to the field of lumbar packs, Mountainsmith has introduced the Day (Recycled), an eco-friendly redesign of Mountainsmith's classic Day lumbar pack. Loaded with the same great features found on the original Day lumbar pack, the Day (Recycled) utilizes a ground-breaking fabric made entirely of 100% recycled plastic beverage bottles. The waistbelt of the Day (Recycled) has a wide wrap-around style and incorporates Mountainsmith's triangulated straps of the patented Delta Compression System to shift weight into the lumbar region for a stable, evenly distributed load. Lined with an elastic mesh fabric, the foam-padded waistbelt provides more support than comparable lumbar packs and remains comfortable to wear even on hot days. Larger than traditional lumbar packs, the Day (Recycled) has a full 854 cubic inches of carrying capacity. Unlike full-blown daypacks, the Day (Recycled) weighs a mere 1 lb. 7 oz. and is compact enough that your movements remain uninhibited. Featuring three separate compartments and two additional storage pockets, the Day (Recycled) offers organizational options. A zippered pocket on the inside of the main compartment provides a hideaway for keys, coins and other valuables. Adjustable mesh side pockets feature a bungee closure and can accommodate 32 oz. water bottles. A bungee attachment on the front of the Day (Recycled) allows you to carry a jacket, sweatshirt or additional gear. With varied carrying options, the versatile Day (Recycled) can also be used as a shoulder bag, a briefcase or as an add-on pocket for a full-size backpack. Optional Mountainsmith Strapettes (sold separately) can be employed to serve as shoulder straps and provide extra support when heavy loads are being carried in the Day (Recycled). The Mountainsmith Day (Recycled) is available in Heritage Black, Heritage Cobalt and Heritage Red color options.

Day-in-day-out pack September 16, 2008
I have been using it as a walk to work pack. I like lumbar packs in general better since the center of gravity is lower and your upper back doesn't get sweaty. It carries a working day's stuff for me just fine, and on the way home can carry a six-pack of beverages. The yellow interior lining makes finding things much easier than the usual black insides found in most packs. And, with the strapettes, carrying enough for a nice long hike on weekends is easy.
Suggestion: I sure wish it had an organizer panel for pens/pencils/calculator
Specific gripes:
The black pull tabs on the zippers blend in and can be hard to find even on the red model.
The strapettes lower attachment is an odd stuff-a-figure-eight-ring through a loop affair. Why not a simple spring clip and d-ring?
The strapettes themselves are easily twisted, but I imagine that's been the case since day 1.
