If you’re heading out on a hunt to find the best spot or hike-until-you’re-hungry picnic, here are some stylin’ backpacks specifically designed for packing the finer things in life out into nature’s glory. Yesterday’s strapped and chunky canvas bag has morphed into today’s sophisticated backpack, elegant in design, with ample storage space and lightweight enough for easy transport. The Windsor for 4, manufactured in bright pink, is made from simulated suede and leather, and includes an insulated waterproof food compartment and color-coordinated plates and napkins. In anticipation of a truly gourmet picnic, it provides space for a wine bottle or other beverage, a small cutting board, salt and pepper shakers, glasses, utensils, plates, corkscrew and a rear storage compartment. Cheese, canapes, wraps, sandwiches, chips and cookies would be honored to ride in such luxury. A new take on a classic pastime, these super functional packs look impressive to the hikers behind you while safely carrying your wares and edibles into nature, making it the ideal picnic companion.
