Minimalist, sleek, and urbane, Hydro Flask’s Unbound backpack is the ultimate combination of portability and insulation. At only 3 lbs., this pack is the lightest of the bunch (even the much smaller Orca). Even so, you can also pack a lot (up to 24 cans) into its impressive 22 liters.
It’s perfect for more genteel pursuits—quick beach trips, nights by the water, picnics in the park—while still offering the ruggedness for more epic adventures. It even comes in four colors, including a joyous sunburst yellow.
I also love the fresh design and features—it features webbing attachment points on each side at the bottom, a stretchy mesh pocket on one side, and a water-resistant slot on the other side. There’s also room for stuff in the top lid, which flips all the way back for great access. The backpack suspension system is supremely comfortable and includes an adjustable sternum strap. (Older kids could easily carry it.)
Bottom line: Hydro Flask’s Unbound Pack has the style and good looks that make it perfect for urban adventure, and the durability and performance to take on a day trip into the woods or camping beside your favorite lake.
