The Epoch is one rugged customer when put to the test. Yet it's capable of being very quiet, thanks to the low-noise fabric Gerber uses. Plus, the side pockets are very accessible, and the zippers are super-easy to grip. And alongside the 750 cubic inches of interior cargo area, Gerber offers the patent-pending Liquifusion Reservoir system. The only such system in the world that is genuinely dishwasher safe. Add to that, the semi-rigid construction conforms to the contours of your spine and you've got a great hydration pack for any excursion.
