GUY HARVEY BACKPACKS

Let's be honest fellas, we need something to carry all of our crap. Most of us don't leave the house without a phone, wallet, keys, hat, sunglasses, a book or magazine and most likely an iPad and maybe even some gym clothes. Unless you like to carry a purse, it's tough to hang onto all that stuff. Board shorts only have so many pockets. But a backpack is easy to carry and stows quickly just about anywhere.

If you're looking for a quick-and-easy way to stow all your gear as you head to the office or on your next travel adventure, check out the new Guy Harvey Backpacks available from AFTCO.

Great for students and commuters who like a little fish flair on their duds, these backpacks come in three different styles: the Downtown, the Uptown, and the Arctic Backpacks. Each pack is rugged and loaded with features.All three packs are made from cordura, a super-strong polyester. For comfortable carrying, the back uses a padded air-mesh material and the ergonomic shoulder straps insure a nice fit that won't dig into your skin.

The Downtown is a more basic model, the Uptown is the mid tier with a few extra features, and the Arctic is the upper tier, with all the bells and whistles. For the active traveler, you'll want the Arctic model with its internal padded laptop compartment, water bottle holders, MP3 pouch with exterior headphone entry, cell phone pocket and chest strap to secure the pack while toting a heavy load. Along with all these features, the backpacks are also decorated with Guy Harvey screened art, and a custom-printed inner lining to give the packs a special feel that you won't find in other backpacks.

The Downtown is offered in Pink Camo and Black and retails for $44.99.The Uptown comes in Black and Army Camo for $64.99. The Arctic Backpack is offered in Gray Camo and Black at a price of $74.99.To see the entire Guy Harvey sportswear line, go to www.guyharveysportswear.com.
