FEATURES
Guiding light is one of the best hiking backpacks in that it allows you to stow or remove tools without taking the pack off. The Rope Door located in the section behind your head allows you to put in or roll out rope as needed. It doubles as a hydration port, with an easy access loop for holding your hydration bladder. The Tool Quivers on the sides are great for attaching skiing equipment or for accessibility to ice tools, snow stakes, avalanche probes, trekking poles, and compact tripods for photographers.
Add Balance Gear Racks (see More Accessories tab) to this comfortable backpack to take the weight of climbing hardware off your shoulders when climbing. The new generation 4 model has a revised frame which is lighter & stronger, and also has an improved Multi-Flow pivot position for an easier-to-use hipbelt.
- Pack features two backlengths, each of which can be adjusted up to 15cm, and a Pelvic Form Hipbelt, making the pack usable for people of all shapes and sizes.
- U, Free, Multi, and Flexi-Flow design plus Free-Flow shoulder straps make the backpack exceptionally comfortable, while the several pockets and make organization easy.
