The folks at High Sierra Sport have answered the pressing question: How do I haul around my volleyball, basketball or bike helmet on the go? With The Hauler, of course. The 18.5-by-13-by-8.5-inch-deep nylon daypack has a stretchy mesh front pocket big enough to hold a large ball or helmet without taking up precious room in the large front-load main compartment. Zippered side compartments are roomy enough for sports shoes, and additional pockets inside and out provide storage for PDAs, cellphones and other gear. An mp3-player pocket has a zipper-stop headphone port for a quick and sheltered connection. Padded shoulder straps and back panel make for comfortable carrying. High Sierra Hauler day pack, $35, , 800-820-6126.
