The North Face manufacturers a huge selection of daypacks. So many shapes and sizes its hard to keep track of them all. So if you’re looking for that new North Face daypack, we suggest you start with the 5 OGE Picks below, all of which of course come with The North Face lifetime guaruntee.

The North Face Big Shot - The Big Shot Backpack’s stowable waist-belt and well-padded shoulder straps enable you to carry a huge load of text books that easily fit in the spacious main compartment.

The North Face Jester - The Jester is no class clown. This classic daypack from The North Face is built very similar to the borealis except that it does not have a laptop sleeve/hydration compartment.

More inspiring outdoor industry news from Rock/Creek! We just mentioned a couple of days ago in the Chacos on sale post…about the responsible ethics and eco-friendly nature of this company. They just keep getting better and better at giving back!

Rock/Creek, a Chattanooga-based specialty outdoor retailer, partners with Sterling Rope to keep used climbing ropes out of landfills through launch of new rope recycling initative at this year’s Triple Crown Bouldering Series.

Chattanooga, TN, September 21, 2007 - As an advancement of their Redemption Initiative, Sterling Rope has started a rope recycling program in partnership with Rock/Creek, ClimbingGear.com, and the Triple Crown Bouldering Series. Starting in October and running through 2007, Sterling will be collecting and recycling used ropes and rewarding those who participate with a discount on a brand spanking new rope. Sterling feels that in cooperation with climbers, they can make a strong impact in the amount of old ropes that get tossed to the landfills each year.

Why recycle your old climbing ropes? Here are just three of the many reasons:

1. Keep them out of a landfill!
2. Keep climbers safe
3. Get 20% off your next Sterling Rope purchase

After collecting the retired ropes, Sterling will consolidate them into containers and send them off to their recycling partner who re-pelletizes the nylon. From there the nylon is made into things like carpet fuzz, coat hangers, and all types of useful household items.
