Paring gear back to its essentials can sometimes strip away its soul. But when done with intention, removing the excess can sharpen both function and design.

The new Mammut x Hiking Patrol Just Wander Collection lands firmly in that latter camp, with the lightweight Ducan 22 pack standing out as a durable, breathable daypack defined by its understated, functional design.
