While Thule is known primarily for their cargo carrying products, they've recently gotten in on the backpacking industry with killer results. The Stir Hiking Pack from Eastern Mountain Sports is one such example with its customizable back panel for different torso sizes, side zipper for access to buried layers, cinch-down opening, and its StormGuard design that blends a partial hideaway rain cover with a waterproof bottom to create a fully-functional pack even when it is covered up.
