HAVEN'T RATED

When you’re hoofing it along the trail, you don’t want poor access to your backpack gear breaking your stride. Luckily, the REI Trail 40 is all about great access – both on the go and when you’ve stopped. The pack offers a variety of pockets for storing your items, including quick-access top and side pockets and hipbelt pockets – ideal for a water bottle or getting to trail snacks in a jiffy. There’s also pockets inside the pack to keep smaller items in order, with space for a hydration bladder too. The pack’s useful U-shaped panel opening with four zips allows side access to the main compartment without completely exposing your gear. However, when you need easy access to all your items, simply unzip the panel completely. With further handy features such as attachments for trekking poles and a raincover, you’re all set for a day of outdoor adventuring.
