Consumers seeking a utilitarian backpack that was built for adventure may be drawn to Pack Animal's newest product -- the Rally Pack. The rustic bag combines elements of vintage style with modern features for a bag that fuses form and function for a multipurpose bag.
The Rally Pack boasts a 17 oz waxed twill shell and a premium vegetable-tanned leather. By the same token, the backpack is weather resistant thanks to its ultra-durable liner. Moreover, the Rally Pack is ultra-comfortable thanks to its ergonomic shoulder straps, a quilted padded back, a sternum strap, and a chest strap. The utilitarian bag also features removable tie-downs that let users mount it to luggage, motorcycles, bicycles, and more.
