Deep Dive
Why We Like The Mountain Hardwear Scrambler 35L Backpack
The Mountain Hardwear Scrambler 35L Backpack is a durable daypack for climbers and ambitious hikers or an overnight pack for ultralight backpackers. It has been fully overhauled for better support, stability, and abrasion resistance. The TPU-coated nylon ripstop material is ultra-durable and waterproof, providing excellent protection against the elements for our gear, lunch, and layers.
The back panel of the backpack is contoured and ventilated, ensuring maximum comfort during use. The shoulder straps and hip belt are supportive, and the compression straps and sternum straps help secure a close-to-body fit. Whether we're facing scrambly approaches or technical trails, this backpack offers the necessary support and stability.
For those who are conscious of weight, the backpack offers the flexibility to remove the hip belt, straps, lid, and frame sheet for minimalist missions. Additionally, the full-length daisy chains, internal gear loop, and forward-access gear loop allow for easy attachment of extra gear, keeping it easily accessible.
The Mountain Hardwear Scrambler 35L Backpack is designed for alpine terrain and serious outdoor pursuits, making it a reliable choice for any adventure.
