MEC Travel Light Day Pack

I’m off to Colorado this week to catch a few runs at Aspen and Crested Butte, and I’ll be packing along my new favourite ski accessory: MEC’s Travel Light Day Pack. I’m one for packing a bottle of water and a Lara bar, but it’s also, frankly, a bit of a drag when it means a dragging around a bulky backpack. The Travel Light weighs in at just 225 grams, so I honestly don’t even notice it’s there – and best of all, it’s totally collapsible, meaning I can easily squeeze it into the corner of my carry-on. (The pretty leaf-green colour is a nice bonus too – my friends won’t miss me on the slopes.)
