Maxpedition Rolly-Polly Folding Daypack

It’s all about flexibility. Can you quickly pack, unpack, then repack for a different adventure? This tiny daypack, built by the same hard-use company as my backpack, is my everyday runabout. Pluck a few items from the big bag and hit the town.

I rarely leave home without the following inside:

• Umbrella
• DEET Spray
• Maglite
• Headlight
• Pelican Hardcase – Holding Nexus and Kindle
• Laminated Passport Copy
• 1 Troy Oz Silver

Simple but wonderfully effective, it folds up to the size of a fist when not needed, then unrolls to expand to amazing sizes. A grommet at the bottom allows water and sand to drain out, and a zippered pocket secures valuables. I always keep a carabineer clipped to one strap; it’s saved me numerous times.

Once, while riding in a human powered rickshaw through crowded Varanasi, I heard the distinctive -ping- of my carabineer on the metal railing. I looked back to find a small Indian boy of about ten crouched on the rear axle.

One hand was holding on tenuously to the jostling carriage, and the other was stealing my bag. It was fully out of the rickshaw before the safety catch caught against the railing with a bang, freezing him sheepishly. His getaway driver behind him looked none too pleased.
