Experience unrestricted movement with the removable hipbelt that adjusts to your hips, allowing you to hike comfortably. The active suspension system provides freedom of movement, especially when navigating vertical ascents.
For a comfortable fit, the backpack features a thermo-formed back panel. Additionally, the removable framesheet doubles as a bivy pad, ensuring you're prepared for unexpected nights spent high on the mountain.
Seal out snow and rain with the cinching skirt beneath the removable lid. This skirt can also be extended to easily accommodate all your climbing gear. The backpack is crafted from durable and lightweight 210D fabric, with 420D abrasion overlays in critical areas for added protection against rocky ridges.
With one front and two stretch side sleeves, you have space for a rain jacket and water bottles. Plus, the backpack includes two PickPockets and removable crampon straps to securely hold your essential ice climbing and mountaineering equipment.
