I remember the spontaneity of those wonderful summer days when we just packed a beach bag and headed off to Sag Harbor for the weekend. We stayed at our little chalet right on the beach or sometimes at a sweet picturesque cottage further inland. Other times called for a short day trip to the lake. Either way it was last minute packing at its finest. I really wish that I had a back pack like this back then!
Believe it or not everything you see in the photo above plus a full on hydration system fit in this Rudy Project Daypack II. The water bladder is removable and adjustable to feed from either your left or right shoulder. Rent a beach cruiser and stow your sandals, athletic shoes or helmet using the mesh holder shown below. Comfortable air-flow shoulder straps & waist belt complete the picture.
Better still are the tricked out zippered pouches and pockets many with mesh lining to allow sandy sandals and wet clothing to dry quicker. This is a high quality bag with rugged over-sized zipper pulls that I LOVE! Holds a LOT more than what is pictured. Here's my quickie beach packing list for your day into evening get away:
