The Eastern Mountain Sports Facebook promotion takes place July 16 through August 5. The contest allows participants to upload a personal photo about conquering their biggest outdoor challenge onto the Eastern Mountain Sports' Facebook page, in order to win one of 10 EMS Daypacks as tough as the winning entrants. At the completion of the contest, 10 Back-to-School Eastern Mountain Sports brand daypacks built with durable CORDURA fabric will be given away. The winners will be announced on August 6, 2012*.

The daypack giveaway is a prelude to Eastern Mountain Sports' Back-to-School sale in its stores and online at ems.com during Aug. 7-21. Customers can get their favorite pack at 20 percent off during this sale.

The durable daypacks constructed with CORDURA Lite fabric and CORDURA HP fabric are specifically designed to meet the versatile needs of students and to handle a wide array of demanding outdoor activities too.

"This year we have two new styles to round out our collection of packs made with CORDURA fabric," said Wes Green, product manager of camping at Eastern Mountain Sports. "We chose CORDURA fabric because we believe it is the most durable on the market and our customers deserve a daypack construction that will stand up to everything from the classroom to the backcountry."

Eastern Mountain Sports creates high-capacity daypacks offering the exceptional versatility and durability that distinguishes CORDURA fabric. With the inclusion of CORDURA fabrics in the body, these packs deliver exceptional resistance and durability needed to survive all day, everyday wear and tear. The rugged shells and well-organized interiors make these packs an ideal choice for outdoor adventures and daily use alike.

"The CORDURA brand team constantly strives to meet the needs of durable people who push their own limits, and above all we design our fabrics to last," said Cindy McNaull, global CORDURA brand and marketing director. "This year we are celebrating our 45th anniversary. We are excited to collaborate with Eastern Mountain Sports to take their latest collection of durable daypacks 'Back-to-School'."

With built-in padded pockets for valuable electronics, fleece-lined pockets for eyewear, and spacious main compartments targeted for textbooks, laptops or hiking gear, these fashionable packs are designed for ease of use and accessibility. Compression straps allow for easy transportation, while the external, zip pockets are perfect for storing everyday essentials. Complementing the practical features on the pack, Eastern Mountain Sports incorporated targeted blends of CORDURA fabric, providing exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to tears, scuffs and abrasion.
