So I walk into our local Husqvarna Power Equipment dealer looking for a throttle cable for my chain saw and saw this cool back pack hanging on the wall. It's not too large nor too small and is made of ballistic material. One large main compartment with a pouch for a hydration bladder to fit inside and small hole at top for hydration tube to exit. Also has two smaller side pockets and mesh netting in rear. Enough space to carry tools or stowing your heavy enduro jacket with plenty of room to spare. Hidden feature is the orange rain cover that fits in it's own pouch at bottom of pack and snaps into place with snap buttons. Also comes with padded back, padded shoulder straps, a waist belt and sternum buckle. The word HUSQVARNA is embroidered on the rear right with bright white. Not as well made as a Ogio pack but also only 1/3 the price at $29.99 from my local dealer.
Neat-o! Good find I also have a Husky chainsaw. Where do you get your chainsaw stuff in the Bay Area? WoodsChick
My local Ace Hardware is a Husqvarna dealer. These are close to you. Try here: U-SAVE POWER EQUIPMENT INC. 9370 MACARTHUR BLVD. OAKLAND, California 94605 http://husqvarna.pro/us/u-save-power-equipment-inc/ JAIS MOWER & SAW SERVICE 20544 WISTERIA ST CASTRO VALLEY, California 94546 510-538-7744 WEST COAST CONTRACTORS SERVICE 28 13TH ST.

While I was there I had time to peruse all of the professional forestry and lawn care catalogs. Inside you'll find some nice hats, beenies, gloves, jackets, ponchos, shirts, polo's. sweatshirts and a plethora of Husqvarna goodies. I'm asking the better half for Husqvarna mechanics gloves for x-mas.
Too funny. The Ontario Sales Rep for Husq Lawn and Garden was in my place last week and bought a bunch of Husky T-Shirts and Hats to give to his dealers.
I like that back pack. You got me looking on the web. Their gear bag and boot bag would be a good pair. http://www.husqvarna.com/us/landowner/accessories/other-accessories/practical-items/
My area isn't upscale enough to warrant the shop owners to carry these cute items. I did find a lawn mower repair place that was good enough to find the backpack in their dealer catalog and they ordered it for me.
I went to the Husqvarna website and saw sweatshirts, beanies, a bag for rubber boots, even a can cozy, but no backpack. They even had a link to Cintas (big supplier of uniforms) that had Husky-logo'd clothing. WoodsChick
Uh oh, maybe it has been discontinued and North County Lawn Mowers won't actually be able to get the backpack for me.
Or maybe North County Lawn Mowers is better at finding stuff than I am They would certainly know better than I would, I'd think. Have faith! WoodsChick
Here's the back pack on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Husqvarna-Construction-Products-505699994-backpack/dp/B0014GITIO
Yippie! I went to pick mine up at the lawn mower shop today. (That was quick) It's very nice. The only thing that I wish was better is the waist belt. It's just nylon webbing. I wish it were padded a bit. But still, overall, it's a nice pack for the money (and it cost 32.95 from the lawn mower place).
