Carrying all your gear for a day on or off the trail requires a versatile pack with plenty of useful, accessible storage. But nobody wants to be weighed down with a bulky, unwieldy backpack.

Big Agnes has designed the streamlined Impassable 20 with versatility and practicality in mind. Take it hiking, biking, travelling or city strolling.

Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado – a small ski-town that we’ve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at WildBounds.
Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
Best multi purpose pack I have ever owned, great for travel!
