Hiking, Trekking and Mountaineering Packs
Our Hiking and Trekking backpacks are big enough for extra layers, food and water without adding to the load. You will appreciate the impeccable organization of these packs, which come with four zippered compartments, an upper left and right, a bottom compartment, and a separate zippered hydration sleeve against your back. On either side of the bottom compartment are stash pockets for a small water bottle. When you're going ultralight and the pack's only half full, compression straps let you reduce the bulk. If you need to strap on an odd-sized item, there's a ladder chain up the middle to lash it to. ActiVent* molded suspension disperses away heat and sweat.
Our Mountaineering backpacks are built with Robic, a light fabric that is super resilient against abrasion, punctures, and tearing. Featuring a solid suspension, hung from two aluminum struts that form a triangle of support from your shoulders to the base of your spine. A PE framesheet molds to the curves of your back, and molded foam pads rest softy against your back with a spinal venting channel. The shoulder straps aren't merely padded, they're sculpted to allow your arms to raise without the pads bunching up. Behind your head the backpack is recessed, creating an occipital cavity so you can lift your head without bumping into the lid. There are multiple lash points for carrying tools with organizational pockets inside and out, including an internal sleeve and ports on either side for a hydration system.
