Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) Big Squeeze 2 Backpack

New model for this year (Do not check this option if this model was listed as new in last year’s Gear Guide)The Big Squeeze is the missing link between kid’s daypacks and adult multi-day packs. It is specifically designed for pre-teens heading backpacking with the family or off to summer camp. We built a compression stuff sack into the main compartment, large enough for a bulky bag.

Buckle the compression wings together and cinch them tight to squeeze the bag down to a manageable size. The rest of the main compartment remains free for other cargo, holding heavier items next to the wearer’s back for the best balance and comfort.
