I need to get a backpack that's durable, at least somewhat waterproof, and has a lot of space inside. I would like to stay inside the $40 price range, but if it's just super awesome for that extra $5 or so, recommend it. It definitely has to be from REI or Dick's because I don't live near any other sporting goods stores. And no I will not buy online, I like to see and feel before I buy.
Answer
It's gonna be difficult to obtain a quality backpack for such short monet at rei,you'd be better off going to a yard sale when spring arrives,and getting a sweet deal on a great bag rather than just an ok one for what you want to spend.

Camping packtowl antimicrobial treatment?
tomy-mom
Hi I'm trying to find out what the treatment used for the nano and personal travel packtowl towels (for camping and backpacking) is, I've looked everywhere and can't find any information, basically I need to find out if it's a temporary treatment that will eventually wash out and need redoing or if it's a permanent treatment, such as with silver polygiene technology. Thanks so much for any help
Answer
Sounds like it is probably a temporary, but harmful, chemical called triclosan.
You may be better-off spraying yourself with insecticide from the sound of it.
It all reminds me of an old product that my father used called Phisohex, later banned from over-the-counter sales due to the fear of carcinogens in the body cleanser (circa 1969). Hexachlorophene was the nasty chemical in the product. I guess that it is still used, since I found it on the internet. Possibly, the product is suggested for use with instruments and not recommended for direct use on the skin as a cleansing agent. Part of the objection to all antibacterial chemicals is that eventually the only organisms that survive a cleansing will become increasingly resistent to being destroyed and may mutate into dangerous disease pathogens. You probably know of examples, such as tuberculosis that has gained resistance to antibiotics.
-------------------------
Whether itâs a towel, athletic wear, or hand soap, a product boasting âantibacterialâ treatments or ingredients ought to be avoided. (The only exception is the use of antimicrobial soap to protect people with weakened immune systems.) But I don't believe there is a ever a need for antimicrobial fabrics.
The antimicrobial treatment used on fabrics and plastics is known as Microban, which contains the active ingredient triclosan. For years, the Americal Medical Association, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and the World Health Organization have advised against regular hand washing with antibacterial/antimicrobial soaps containing triclosan because they contribute to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. And recently, as reported in this recent overview in Environmental Health Perspectives, triclosan has come under scrutiny for many human and animal health risks, including the release of carcinogenic, hormone-disrupting dioxins into the environment.
