Black Diamond Mandate 28L is an ideal backpack designed for your hiking. Inspired by life on the wall, but built for life in transit, the Creek Mandate 28 Pack combines the toughness of the haul bags with a sleek and super-functional design that deftly handles work commutes, indoor training sessions, and far-flung travels. The Mandate’s rugged waterproof shell fabric on the pack’s front panel protects against light weather and the rigors of day-in, and day-out travel, while its panel-loading design offers quick and easy access to your gear. A padded laptop sleeve protects your computer, and zippered pocket storage keeps your small items in check. Full padded shoulder straps and a webbing hip belt keep you comfy during all-day hustles, and burly loop handles on the top and front make it easy to grab.
