The Organic Dual Zip Backpack. 

I tossed my new Organic pack into my truck and watched it roll down a hill (whoops) out bouldering, all without a ding thanks to the 1050D ballistic nylon shell. The roll-top closure made it easy to change carrying capacity—e.g., make room for a puffy. Two exterior buckles doubled as side compression straps and allowed me to hook the pack on a pad. Meanwhile, the two side zippers made it easy to access my water bottle and find my brush. The two interior pockets provided enough room for a kneepad, guidebook, or a hydration bladder in the larger pocket and my skin kit, wallet, and keys in the smaller one. MSRP: $129, organicclimbing.com
